Singing for Mrs. Pettigrew: Stories and Essays from a Writing Life

266 pp. | Candlewick | October, 2009 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7636-3624-1 $18.99
(3) YA Illustrated by Peter Bailey. Morpurgo's writing is thoroughly enjoyable in this collection of previously published short stories and poems with accompanying essays. The pieces cover a wide range of emotions, from tales that are haunting ("The Giant's Necklace") to those that are heart wrenching ("For Carlos, a Letter from Your Father"). Evocative fine-lined black-and-white illustrations appear throughout. Timeline.
