Michael has won the Whitbread Award, the Smarties Award, the Circle of Gold Award, the Children's Book Award and has been short-listed for the Carnegie Medal four times. He started the charity Farms for City Children in 1976 with his wife, Clare, aimed at relieving the "poverty of experience. many young children feel in inner city and urban areas. Michael is also a patron of over a dozen other charities. Living in Devon, listening to Mozart and working with children have provided Michael with the ideas and incentive to write his stories. He spends half his life mucking out sheds with the children, feeding sheep or milking cows; the other half he spends dreaming up and writing stories for children. "For me, the greater part of writing is daydreaming, dreaming the dream of my story until it hatches out - the writing down of it I always find hard. But I love finishing it, then holding the book in my hand and sharing my dream with my readers." Michael received an OBE in December 2006 for his services to literature.

From Hereabout Hill

C'était la chance de ma vie ! J'allais me rendre à Venise pour interviewer le grand violoniste Paolo Levi. Mais je savais qu'il ne fallait surtout pas prononcer devant lui le nom de Mozart. Comment imaginer alors l'histoire qu'il allait me raconter : son histoire, un secret dont il pouvait enfin se libérer...La musique réveille l'écho d'un passé terrible pour nous plonger au coeur de la nuit la plus noire. Un récit très fort porté par une écriture simple, pudique, et les aquarelles émouvantes de Michael Foreman.
