4th-11th May 2014 – Linton, Cambridge (tbc)
Hello and welcome to Linton Children's Book Festival 2014.
Hundred-mile-an-hour dogs, seasick pirates and demon vacuum cleaners….where else could these characters spring from but the quirky imagination of Jeremy Strong?
Possibly influenced by falling on his head aged three and eating doughnuts, Jeremy’s books guarentee relentless laughs and direct child appeal.
Don’t miss meeting Jeremy right here in Linton!
