As members of the Lincolnshire Children's Book Group, The Priory Ruskin Academy has been made aware of an amazing event that is a must for all Michael Morpurgo fans. Arranged by Waterstones of Boston, Michael Morpurgo, Virginia McKenna and Voices at the Door are performing Michael Morpurgo's book 'The Best Christmas Present In The World' at Boston's St Botolph's Church on Friday 9th December.
