Michael Morpurgo with Jonathan Lampon

This week sees the return of the Everybody's Reading festival to Leicester.

The festival sees authors and book lovers come together for 9 days of events across the city. But did you know that our fair city has actually inspired one of the world's most renowned authors to write a new story, which he brought to the Cathedral on Tuesday (4th of October).

Former Children's Laureate Michael Morpurgo, like many of us, was amazed not only by the great success of our football team, but the discovery of Richard the Third right here in our city. This has led to the publication of his latest magical story, The Fox and the Ghost King, with the tale being brought alive by the illustration of Michael Foreman.

They joined Jonathan Lampon in the studio, to chat about Morpurgo's latest publication.
