麦克·莫波格（Michael Morpurgo）生于1943年，英国著名儿童文学作家，英国最畅销小说家之一。在获得英国大大小小的童书奖之后，2003年英国儿童文学最高荣誉奖“童书桂冠作家”再次将他的创作生涯推向高峰。 莫波格除了在他最喜爱的历史间穿梭，他还有三座慈善农场(Farms for City Children），每年陪伴超过两百位孩子，在这里一同体验农场生活，并从动物和大自然中学习包容和宽恕。他的故事，解救了众多渴望幻想的小小心灵。他说在孩子们身上看到了故事带来的不可思议的魔力，并且他意识到这种魔力同样也眷顾了自己。 有件事，他想一辈子都做，那就是，给很小很小的孩子写书，那种每个字都很重要的书。他说：“对我来说，写作最美妙的部分就是可以一直梦想，直到出现了灵感的火花。”
