Singing for Mrs Pettigrew
A Story-Maker's Journey
Stories and essays on where the author's fiction comes from, including the woman who lived in a railway carriage.
Ten stories with an account of where each came from: the house in the Kentish marshes, the old woman living in a railway carriage, the atomic power station that drove the author’s family away. Morpurgo uses the pairing to show how a story-maker works, taking what happened and weaving other colours into it until it becomes fiction.
