“Poetry of all kinds, but particularly free verse, is riding high in children’s books and stomping with its metrical feet through the book prizes.”

"It's peculiar to say that we grow out of pictures. If that were true, art galleries, the cinema and all other visual media would have had it long ago."

Doncaster Racecourse. It was nothing like this when I visited, one October, researching my book. I may have underrated it. #HorseRacing #Doncaster #coursesforhorses

Loved the book, The Haunted Wood, and discussing children’s authors processing their own trauma, what Winnie the Pooh owed to Alice in Wonderland, how it takes a generation to process a war, the darkness of Robert Cormier, and whether Mary Poppins was a grumpy piece of work …
We had a special evening last night with @questingvole , Lauren Child and @NicoletteJones talking all things Children’s literature! If you couldn’t make it we have lots of signed stock from both Sam and Lauren, so stop by to grab some!
