Sophie Henn, the author of ‘Happy Hills – Knick Knacks Attacks’ and ‘Lifesize’ will be joining us at the Dukes Festival of Stories on 29th November at Eaton House The Manor. It is suitable for lovers of classics, lovers of popular books and lovers of books of all sorts and has events for all children, from Nursery stage to age 13!

If you would like to meet the authors and get them to sign your books come along and have lots of fun! You can meet so many of your favourite authors, from Rib Buddulph to MC Grammar and M.C. Leonard, Jennifer Bell, and more! Don’t worry if you don’t have the books – they will be available at the ‘smallest Waterstones in the UK.’

You will see snow flying around the Narnia-themed entrance and a giant pile of books in the courtyard as you enter a book-themed wonderland of talks, events, treats, fun and yummy food!

This is a fantastic pre-Christmas day out, where parents and grandparents can buy presents and stocking fillers for all the family. For more details and to book tickets at £5 a session, visit dukesfestivalofstories.com.
