Michael Morpurgo

The Michael Morpurgo 8-book collection brings together some of the finest storytelling in children's literature from the former UK Children's Laureate and multi-award-winning author — including the world-famous War Horse, now a celebrated film and stage play.

The set features War Horse, Kensuke's Kingdom, Why the Whales Came, Long Way Home, Mr Nobody's Eyes, The Wreck of the Zanzibar, King of the Cloud Forests and Escape from Shangri-La. Morpurgo's stories explore courage, friendship, loss and hope — from a horse's journey through the First World War to a boy stranded on a remote island.

Why parents buy it: these are modern classics that build empathy, vocabulary and a deep love of reading, and they open up rich conversations about history and the wider world. Why children love it: the adventures are gripping and emotional, with heroes and animals they'll never forget.

Ideal for confident readers aged 9–12 and a treasured gift for any young book lover. Available now at Kids Library Kenya, Nairobi, with same-day delivery and countrywide shipping across Kenya.
