From beloved writer Michael Morpurgo, comes a new collection of reflections, memoir, stories and wonder.

'A beautiful, thoughtful book that brims with joy' KATE MOSSE'Suffused with gentle optimism and warmth' TELEGRAPHIn Funny Thing, Getting Older, one of our most beloved novelists shares his reflections from a lifetime of writing stories about the world. Here, collected for the first time on Michael's 82nd birthday, are his thoughts on nature, childhood, writing, peace and war, and getting older. Some are deeply personal, some political, others in between. And woven in amongst them you will find a play, a poem or two, and even a few stories. Full of wonder, gentle humour and sharp observation, Funny Thing, Getting Older is a book to treasure.

A story is like a kite. If I make it right, if I fly it right, it will swoop and soar. And it will please my heart when it's up there, floating on the wind.

'Our master storyteller' JOANNA LUMLEY

LOVE this blanket hoodie!!
Color: Grey, Size: Standard
I’ve been using my Blanket Hoodie mainly while working at home and relaxing in the evenings. It’s exceptionally soft and warm! Pros: • Thick, cozy sherpa material that keeps me warm without feeling heavy • Good length • Comfortable enough to wear during long TV binges or while I'm at my computer working from home! Cons: • Hood is roomy and shifts around a bit • Sleeves are slightly This hoodie is a solid choice if you want something warmer than a typical sweatshirt. I might try a different size next time for a better sleeve fit, but I would recommend this for anyone who gets cold easily.

Great gifts for grandkids
Color: Olive Green, Size: Small
We bought eight wearable blanket hoodies for our grandkids that were 12 and younger. Each child got a different color and design that we picked to match their personalities and preferred toy or activities. They were everyone’s favorite Christmas gift (December 2025). A month later I they are still wearing them everywhere because the are fun and comfortable. They use them indoors and out as they are warm enough to replace a jacket or heavy sweat shirt but not too warm for indoor. Did not have any quality issues with any of them. They are designed to be roomy with sleeves that will cover their hands if they want but they have a cuff to keep them off their hands when they want. The two available sizes worked with everyone from 3 years old to 12 years old.

Very very soft & super duper warm
Color: Grey, Size: Standard
So soft & comfy. I LOVE IT! I had another brand before this one and it wasn’t nearly as soft or as thick as this one. When I’m freezing & everyone else is not it saves the day. I can go outside when it’s cold and not feel like I’m dying from the cold like usual. You will warm up fast BUT I have to come out of it shortly after putting it on. I can’t wear it long term inside unless I turn the heat WAY down
