Oscar nominations were announced this week, and one of the nods for Best Picture<\/a> went to War Horse<\/em>, a movie based on the book<\/a> written by British author Michael Morpurgo. Michael\u2019s story behind the story of War Horse<\/em><\/a> was featured in the December 2011 issue of Guideposts<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Michael\u2019s tale is definitely a case of incredible timing resulting in a most fortunate outcome. Hopelessly stuck on finding a way to make an old World War I veteran\u2019s story come to life, Michael witnessed a wonderful moment between a shy boy and one of the horses on his farm in Devon. That moment inspired Michael as he wrote the book.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe book came out of a chance encounter. Everything about this story of War Horse <\/em>did,\u201d Michael says. \u201cInitially it was that chance encounter. But then the book was out there and it didn\u2019t do well. Then, 30 years later, the National Theater in London was looking to make a play using the genius of some puppets they had discovered called Handspring Puppets, from South Africa<\/a>. They wanted the puppets to be center stage, so they needed a story in which an animal had the main part. The director, Tom Morris, searched for a couple years and couldn\u2019t find anything at all. When he came home one weekend, his mother says to him, \u2018Tom, you should read this book I just read called War Horse<\/em>, it\u2019s a story of a horse in the first World War.\u2019 So he read it. Two weeks later I\u2019m up in London meeting with him about the play they\u2019re going to make.\u201d<\/p>\n

The play, staged first in London and then at Lincoln Center in New York<\/a>, took home the Tony Award for Best Play in 2011.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe lovely thing is, my father, who was an actor, in 1966 acted on the very same stage in Lincoln Center. His name was Tony. I feel his spirit must be walking the boards every night,\u201d Michael says.<\/p>\n

\"War<\/p>\n

War Horse<\/em> is a story about the horrors of war and its devastating effects on the innocent. That\u2019s a story that needs to be told, and it seems to me that Michael got a little help telling it\u2014through a series of extraordinary \u201cchance\u201d encounters.<\/p>\n

I interviewed Michael and edited his story for Guideposts<\/em>, and he\u2019s a great guy. His Farms for City Children<\/a> program touches on two things he cares deeply about: the welfare of children and the humane treatment of animals. That\u2019s why I\u2019m definitely pulling for War Horse<\/em> to win the Academy Award.<\/p>\n

Hmm \u2026 does Michael have an uncle named Oscar?<\/p>\n
