Winging It at the Isle of Wight Literary Festival

I had such fun at the Isle of Wight Literary Festival this year. Despite my fears that I had forgotten to bring something vitally important (like glue/ books/ fairy wings) the two Flossie Bonce Fairy Workshops went brilliantly. Both were full to capacity, despite the appalling and torrential rain. Everyone liked listening to Flossie Bonce and I got laughs from the adults in all the right places. 

I think you need to write for 2 audiences when creating children's books- the child and the adult. After all, if the child loves a story, it's the grown up who has to read it a million times! It had better be entertaining!

This is the front page of our local paper's 'Weekender' with one of the fairies admiring her wonderful fairy wings that she made.
