All Aboard the Story Time Express - Michael Morpurgo and Katie Razzall
It’s full steam ahead with children’s author Michael Morpurgo as he reads from his much-loved book Flying Scotsman and the Best Birthday Ever - from a locomotive! School and home-educated children are invited aboard our story time express for an online journey into the golden age of steam travel. Enjoy an inspiring tale celebrating the world’s most iconic train, Flying Scotsman, and its greatest fan, a young girl named Iris. Surrounded by the gleam of brass at York's National Railway Museum, Michael will read excerpts from his book and answer questions about his life and inspiration at our live online event hosted by Katie Razzall, BBC News Culture and Media Editor. The session is the highlight of our annual Michael Morpurgo Celebration Day and a wonderful way to mark the National Year of Reading 2026. Flying Scotsman and the Best Birthday Ever is beautifully illustrated by Michael Foreman and is published in association with the National Railway Museum. This recording is available to watch until 31 July 2026.
