As the day drew on, people scrambled about the books in the marquee and around authors themselves for a bit of their penmanship. C.J.Sansom's line was so long, I felt sorry for him- especially as he had tennis elbow.
Later that evening, I entered into the great hall, which has inspired so many images we recognise today. Brass lamps glowed upon the huge long tables, as the faces of royals looked down upon me from wooden paneled walls. The fireplace roared behind me as I listened to writers such as William Fiennes, Philip Pullman, Katie Waldegrave and Frances Wilson, talk about the importance of writing for children. A truely enchanting experience and I suggest you get down there before it ends!
