Rotherham Children's Book Festival 1st -7th July; 2000

I was both privileged and delighted to be be invited to take part in the the first ever Rotherham Children's Book Festival, and spent most of Friday 7th July there. The whole festival was a week long event, and featured visiting speakers and performers, in some thirteen or so libraries, The Rotherham Civic Theatre, and even the Children's Wards of the District General Hospital. Speakers included Jean Ure, Malcolm Rose, Nigel Hinton, and David Belbin, whom I met on the Friday morning.  But on the Friday evening, I, and my  longstanding friend Jane, went to see Roger McGough, OBE; and he was utterly superb!
