Where My Wellies Take Me by Clare and Michael Morpurgo - in pictures

Michael Morpurgo says of the book, "Where My Wellies Take Me is really Clare's story. As a girl Clare would come down to Iddesleigh for her long summer holidays and stay with friends at the Duke of York pub in the village. She would spend her days wandering the lanes and fields of the remote Devon countryside and riding her favourite horse Captain. It was really Clare's love of this remote and magical place which led Clare and I back to Devon in the 70s and to set up the charity Farms for City Children. It has been a place that has been an inspiration for many of my stories including War Horse, Farm Boy and Private Peaceful." Photograph: Templar
