DESCRIPTION:Saturday 31st October 2026 - 4.30pm to 5.30pm
Dogberry & Finch Books are thrilled to be hosting a book-signing event
this autumn for Down Burrow Lane: Life and Love on the Farm by Michael
Morpurgo.
The long-awaited memoir of love, loss and a Devon farm that changed
thousands of lives - Michael Morpurgo's most personal and moving book to
date.
Fifty years ago, Michael and Clare Morpurgo packed their young family into
a car in London and set off for a remote farm in rural Devon, down a narrow
track called Burrow Lane. It was on this magical farm that Michael, then a
young schoolteacher, became a writer.
Over the years, it would inspire many of his best-loved books, including
War Horse and Private Peaceful. Here, Michael and Clare raised their family
and, in many ways, grew up themselves. They also welcomed more than 100,000
children from towns and cities to experience life in the countryside
through their charity, Farms for City Children.
This is the remarkable love story of Michael and Clare, and an account of
the joys and hardships of life on the farm across five decades: a journey
through the seasons and years that shaped the land around them, and the
lives of the children forever changed by their time there.
Michael Morpurgo will be signing copies of Down Burrow Lane that are
purchased at the event or pre-ordered from Dogberry & Finch Books.
We’ll also have other wonderful new titles by Michael Morpurgo there to
choose from - more information to come.

'A warm, rich, generous book. A pleasure from first page to last.'
