Writers who used to be school teachers

The Times has an article listing a number of well-known writers who spent time as school teachers.  Read it here. (Pop quiz: how many can you think of, before you click on over there?).

The accompanying photo of Michael Morpurgo (was he on your list?), apparently in lounging on a pillow in bed, with a pad and pencil, suggests the attraction over an argy-bargy bunch of hormonal Year 9 students on a wet and windy afternoon.  Hmmmm.  I suspect it's not as easy as all that.

The follow-up article is here, from Kaye Umansky, explaining Why.

Cheers, Ruth
