We love it too and look forward to it every year (after all the build up work!). Glad you enjoyed yourself!

If it weren’t for the books by a certain Mr Snicket AKA @authordanielhandlet, I would never have taken up reading, let alone writing.

Such a bewilderingly brilliant moment to be interviewing him in the epic Alexandra Palace for North London Book Fest. A DELIGHTFUL man both on stage and off.

Dr Nazneen Ahmed Pathak Alexandra Palace Children's Book Award Alexandra Palace Haringey Libraries Congrats! It's such an important place to me too & I believe has inspired quite a few others too. Lovely to say hi at the end of Fri's ceremony & sorry to not make it to Sat. How serendipitous that this has happened - when we shortlisted the book we didn't know!

In the Alexandra Palace Theatre in Muswell Hill, London yesterday, a theatre that was 'secret' for nearly a 100 years, being used as storage, and is now like some kind of restored relic from Pompeii. Wonderful to be in it, having fun with 500 or more people.North London Book Fest

Hugely entertaining and enlightening session with Andy Stanton - 'a very slow version of Chat GPT' - and Robin Ince as part of North London Book Fest Day 3. Pleased that writers tickle their own fancy and can't wait to start my decent into language and madness...

Another awesome event at North London Book Fest Alexandra Palace !
Jack Meggitt-Philips using his beastly humour as he interviews Daniel Handler, aka Lemony Snicket who has amazing dry humour and comic stare!
The lengthy queue for signing #PoisonForBreakfast says it all!!

I am overwhelmed to have won this award from readers from the very libraries that were my sanctuaries and treasure chests when I was growing up in Wood Green. This North London girl is so proud today. Thank you so so much #bibliobuzz Alexandra Palace Children's Book Award Alexandra Palace Haringey Libraries

Highlights of my (90min😍) signing yesterday:

🎉 Meeting young readers & hearing their love for TSGF
💜 How fascinated they were by it's verse form
📚Meeting a real life Miss Haldi like Loren

I wrote the book I needed,& it's found the people the world needs. I'm so grateful 💕

A palace filled with 800 children, 5 superstar authors (& 1 there in spirit), and a peculiar man hosting the event with his parrot.

Alexandra Palace Children's Book Award is the BEST author day of the year! Thanks everyone who made it possible and congrats to winners Simon James Green and Dr Nazneen Ahmed Pathak.
