Edit request from Pedant9, 14 October 2010[edit]

{{edit semi-protected}} Micheal has published a new book - we were going to add it to the Bibliography Shadow (2010) http://www.michaelmorpurgo.com/books/shadow/ thank you! Pedant9 (talk) 19:35, 14 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Done Thanks, Stickee (talk) 22:04, 14 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

overwhelming list of books[edit]

Is it necessary to have so many books listed? Since the header is "selected list" can it be cut down or left as is because it seems out of proportion for the notability of this author. Not that he's not important but he's hardly Dostoyevsky whose own list is much shorter. Perhaps a separate article for the whole 120 if required? Just saying. Manytexts (talk) 12:47, 21 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I propose creating a separate article that lists his works, and removing the less significant (though still notable) ones from this article. Thoughts? Coolabahapple (talk) 03:47, 16 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Michael Andrew Bridge[edit]

If this is in fact his birthname, then why is his parentage a mystery until early adulthood?

A Point of View[edit]

The section on his radio work could mention that he has done A Point of View on BBC Radio 4. He did it on November 11 2018, to mark 100 years since the World War One Armistice. Vorbee (talk) 09:04, 11 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
