That's it for '26 - see you next year
That was a great weekend of books and conversations. Our five fabulous authors engaged, entertained and enlightened. Stories were told, shared and created; books were signed. Our audiences put questions, exchanged views and told us about their favourite reading moments. At their own special events, children listened, crafted, made their own magic and forged their own tales.
A huge thanks to our authors for joining us to share their anecdotes and brilliant insights into the process of transforming the germ of an idea into a book:
Si Wooler, Rory Cellan-Jones and Shona MacLean

Natalie Jayne Clark and
Gaynor Andrews.
