About this listen
A GUARDIAN AND TIMES BEST BOOK OF 2025
'Uplifting and enchanting. A celebration of life by our master story-teller.' JOANNA LUMLEY
'Spring is a delight. His love and knowledge of the countryside are profound. We are all the richer for what he sees.' PHILIP PULLMAN
'Full of vibrant colour and most of all, heart and soul.' CLARE BALDING
And there, as I struggle to open the gate, I happen to glance down and see it. Frog spawn! Clumps of it, floating like grey slimy sponges on the surface of the puddle. I crouch down to be close to it, to the beginning of new life.
Michael Morpurgo has lived on a farm deep in rural Devon for more than forty years. In Spring, he observes the season unfold around him, as fragile new shoots emerge, buds turn to blossom and grey skies give way to blue.
As the natural world shakes off a long winter, Michael watches lambs being born on the farm, delights in a fanfare of bluebells in the woods, and sings to the birds, dressed in his wellies and dressing gown. He shares small moments of joy found in the back garden, as well as more dramatic encounters with sparrowhawks, hares and otters.
With new poems and reminiscences about childhood and springs gone by, this is an enchanting memoir of a season from one of the world's best-loved authors.©2025 Michael Morpurgo (P)2025 Hodder & Stoughton Limited

A beautifully observed insight into Spring, past and present.
It is rare and inspiring to hear non-fiction from Michael Morpurgo. As evocative as ever, his ‘Spring’ provides a beautifully observed insight into not only the season, past and present, but into life on his Devon farm as well.
