The talk is ideal for ages 7 – 12, and lasts about 45 minutes, after which Piers will be happy to take questions, before signing books.

I will also talk about how he learned to write books through The Last Wild, tell the very personal story which led to There May Be A Castle , and explain why he wrote the books in his Narnia-inspired series, The Lost Magician and The Frozen Sea, and how his latest book The Wild Before can inspire every child to make a difference. I will explain how I became an author, and what inspired me. I give a highly illustrated, animated and interactive virtual presentation exploring the values of sharing stories, and childhood reading and writing for a primary school-age audience. I'm very happy to make suggestions and answer any questions you may have.įor all event queries, please email Piers at THE EVENT
