The author of more than a hundred books, Michael Morpurgo lives on a quiet farm in Devon and, by his own admission, tells his stories to his horses and dogs before committing them to paper. Indeed, in most of his books, animals play a very important role. Making them the heroes of his adventure works, the author talks about the defenseless beauty and fragility of the world, its dependence on human participation and compassion. With each of his stories, Michael Morpurgo argues that true humanity rests on two pillars - mercy and fortitude. This humanistic message permeates all of Michael Morpurgo’s books, continuing the traditions of great English literature established by Dickens and Kipling. “Adolphus Tips and Her Incredible Story” immerses the reader in the difficult everyday life of a coastal English village, which during the Second World War found itself in the zone of Allied troops. Lily's family is forced to leave their native farm, but the girl cannot leave her pet, a wayward gray cat, to the mercy of fate. During these months of exile, Lily will find friendship that will last for many decades, and the cat will acquire a sonorous name - Adolphus Tips.
