Do you have/know children between 4 and 15? Do they enjoy books and writing stories? Then you could steer them in them direction of the annual DAUNT BOOKS CHILDREN'S SHORT STORY COMPETITION. Please share this! Entries close 31st January. Good luck!

For anyone needing a laugh, the clips in this article from the soon-to-be-@BAFTA-winning Horrible Histories TV show are hilarious: bit.ly/3YBphoK We loved having illustrator @MartinHHBrown at the Festival in 2023 to celebrate 30 years of the books. #HorribleHistories

“If you choose not to draw realistically you can have giraffes who can dance, elephants in wellingtons and tigers who came to tea… Drawing can be anything your imagination wants it to be” Inspiration for approximately 600 children @MartinHHBrown @kidslitfest
