Authors Live
Multi-talented funny man David Walliams joins us to read from his new book Gangsta Granny and answer questions about his writing and inspiration.
David believes that if you can get kids laughing while you tell them a good story, they're much more likely to see reading as something "which is a fun thing to do".
The event is suitable for everyone but particularly targeted at 8 to 12 year olds.
Authors Live was shortlisted for best Primary Digital Content at the BETT Awards.
