)We are very fortunate to have the best-selling children’s author Julia Donaldson living in Steyning! We are sure that she needs no introduction, but for those who have just returned from 20 years on Mars…..Julia Donaldson is the incredibly talented, prize-winning author of the world’s best-loved picture books, and was the 2011-2013 Children’s Laureate. Her picture books include the modern classic The Gruffalo, which has sold over 5 million copies worldwide.
Julia also writes fiction for older children, including the Princess Mirror-Belle series illustrated by Lydia Monks, and a young adult novel called ‘Running on the Cracks’, as well as poems, plays and songs – and her brilliant live shows are always in demand. Please see our events page to find out whether Julia is coming for a signing session or performing one of her fantastic live shows in the Steyning area.
