RUNNING WILD - MICHAEL MORPURGO

RUNNING WILD - MICHAEL MORPURGO

 

Another loan from the Liz library. This book creates a story from a selection of various factual separate events that are combined into a tale most suited to the young, but also enjoyable to older readers.

Various themes play a role throughout the book, the most prominent being the mother figure/substitute, but also human and animal spirituality, attitude, and sensitivity, as well as civilised and natural knowledge, death, and even elephant farts!

While younger readers can enjoy an adventure tale while their minds are opened to an overseas animal experience and world topics, older readers can investigate the themes, ponder the reality beyond the fiction, and enjoy a relaxing tale.
