Meet Children’s author Michelle Magorian
Friday 27 June - 10.30 am
Menhuin Theatre, Portsmouth Central Library
Portsmouth-born author Michelle Magorian shot to fame 25 years ago with the publication of her first novel Goodnight Mr Tom. Received to critical acclaim, Goodnight Mr Tom is about a wartime evacuee, "a first novel of exciting quality. Open it and you are with a born writer, of the storytelling kind. An optimistic, even a joyful book" (The Observer). In 1998, the book was made into a successful TV Drama starring John Thaw. Michelle Magorian will visit the Festivities to talk to children about her work and will read from her new book, Just Henry, published in May 2008 and Waterstone’s Book of the Month. An inspiring day for young readers and budding writers.
