In a spectacular event, chaired Mairi Kidd, three of our best writers for children get together to discuss the joys of escaping through reading and creative writing: Waterstones Children’s Laureate Cressida Cowell, author-illustrator of the How To Train Your Dragon series; New York Times bestselling author Eoin Colfer; and Sunday Times bestselling author Kiran Millwood Hargrave.
You’ll be the very first to hear about Never and Forever, the final book in Cressida Cowell’s captivating #1 bestselling The Wizards of Once series. This event is its exclusive pre-launch! And she also tells you about the Scottish inspiration for How to Train Your Dragon.
