Banana moon nursery

What a wonderful morning at Banana moon nursery. The children were all so welcoming and after sitting having a snack of our shortbread biscuits and getting to know each other we very quickly settled into our book reading corner and read about Oscar’s adventures. Read More →

Merlin School- 24th February

What a treat to come to the Merlin School for a wonderful reading today. To be met by the whole school at assembly was quite a shock for poor Oscar but he coped admirably and rose to the challenge, giving the floor to Angus the robin to take in his stead. Read More →

10th January 2020- Waterstones, Kings road

It is always rather daunting setting up shop somewhere as high profile as Waterstones, Kings Road to an audience composed purely of oneself.

Fortunately, though, it was not long until Oscar worked his charm and a small group of children quickly built up, to listen to Oscar and Angus’s adventures, adventures that were to be continued long into the night with kind Grannies- the best of readers;  they could give me a run for my money!

8th January 2020- Wimbledon library

What a wonderful time at the Wimbledon library. It was the biggest turn out for a book reading that I have ever had! Full of lots of eager young faces, fresh after their first few days back at School to listen to stories about Oscar and Angus, eat shortbread biscuits and think about kind things we can all do for others in 2020.

Bridport Book Festival

We have been delighted to welcome Molly to the Bridport Literary Festival this year with her utterly charming stories of Oscar the Ferry Cat

She oozes energy and enthusiasm for her work and our young audience (and some older ones!) passed a happy Storytime hour with her on a Sunday morning. 

It may have been Bridport but we were all transported up to the West coast of Scotland!  Thank you Molly for being so friendly and easy to work with!

Floating bookshop – 1st September

The floating bookshop really was the most wonderful venue to do a reading. This incredible venue is the most unique bookshop in London that I know! An oasis of peace and calm right next to Kings Cross station!

So much to explore both inside and outside and run by the warmest people, it was an absolute joy from start to finish.

Following a very generous introduction I sat on the roof and read my stories to an appreciative audience up and down the canal.

Luckily the sun shone and Oscar and me had one of the nicest days.
