Jack Morpurgo (1918-2000) graduated from Christ's Hospital
School in England. He was the first British graduate of the
College of William and Mary in Virginia after the American
Revolution. He served in the British military during World War
II. In his professional life, he was an editor and author of
fiction and non-fiction. He was a frequent contributor of
articles and book reviews to magazines, scholarly journals,
and newspapers. He wrote and participated in numerous radio
and television broadcasts in Britain, the United States,
Canada, and Australia. A significant portion of his career was
spent under the tutelage of Alan Lane, founder of Penguin
Books.

clothing, and an education. By the eighteenth century,
Christ's Hospital was known as one of England's great public
schools. It continues to educate British children in the
