Michael Morpurgo on Essential Classics

[Guest]

I'm really enjoying Michael Morpurgo's chats with Rob Cowan - I think they almost immediately struck a rapport which enabled the conversation to proceed smoothly while addressing sometimes profound questions. MM's choices of music are what one might call "safe" - little there for elitists - but, for this listener at least, it's a case of 30 minutes per day well spent. (Whether I would have tuned in had I not seen "War Horse" - the stage version- I can,t say).

he had wise things to say today about testing children endlessly at school.
