More recent scribblings

I love, love, love school stories. So I chatted to Jenny Colgan about her ‘Malory Towers for grownups’ series, which has just been reissued under her own name (the first two books were originally published under ‘Jane Beaton’).
I also asked five Irish children’s and YA writers about their favourite school stories. Enid Blyton proved a firm favourite.
On picture books and other beautiful books of joy, including the new Oliver Jeffers/Sam Winston collaboration.
