The talk will include material about his own childhood reading, his dreams of being an author, and insights into the writing and editing processes. He will talk particularly about his new book Tyger, which won the Children's Book Of The Year at the British Book Awards, and will read an extract from it as well as sharing some of Dave McKean's stunning artwork from the book.
