Sir Michael Morpurgo: Covid-19 will leave us a kinder world

From Sunday Morning, 11:05 am on 5 April 2020

Sir Michael Morpurgo believes that once the Covid-19 pandemic has finally been beaten, the world will be a kinder, more compassionate place. The acclaimed author of War Horse wants to reinforce a line that he has borrowed from the German playwright and poet Bertolt Brech - in dark times there will still be singing.
