I determined to write a book about the First World War, but I did want to make sure it wasn’t from one side or the other.

Brooke, Simon (29 January 2010). "My perfect weekend: Michael Morpurgo". The Daily Telegraph. London. I wrote War Horse because of these experiences, the horror of it and the sadness of it, growing up after the Second World War and seeing the grief in the faces of my family when they remembered my uncle who’d been shot down in the RAF. You knew that the grief went on and the ruin of lives went on and so it simply saddened you and saddened you and saddened you.
