Initially Roald Dahl, however during my teenage years I read anything and everything I could get my hands on. Read a lot of classics and si-fi books. Now I love a mystery.

Read all the Enid Blyton’s as a child then moved on to Agatha Christie. Never without a book on the go.

I remember a school visit from Helen Cresswell that was really exciting and I loved Moondial that was then made in to a kids TV program, that is my earliest book love memory, in my teens it was Point Horror and Stephan King

That is really cool. I never had anyone show up to my school to talk about the arts or writing. My niece is at the same school I went to as a kid and they have just had Sir Ian Mckellen in! Jammy 😅
