Introduce children to a unique and innovative approach to storytelling in which the team will bring a mythical story to life in front of the children’s eyes. Through linking the story to the book that will have been discovered prior to the visit, children will be able to become part of the story and will be used as a crucial element of this interactive, learning journey.

Using my WWI children's book, Agent Two Face, as inspiration, I will take the children on an interactive journey through the Great War. We begin by watching a 'recruit' take the KIng's shilling as he swears the assetation oath in the recruiting office.

The Workshop begins at Dunkirk in 1940, with the School Hall transformed to replicate the beaches. From here, the children are separated into the advancing German Army and the retreating and trapped B.E.F. (British Troops - each wearing a plastic Brodie helmet). Using artefacts and sound effects, the children then re-enact an air raid on the deathly sands. During this thrilling session, I use extracts of my acclaimed novel Demons of Dunkirk to bring the occasion alive.

Using Paul Nolan’s critically acclaimed book TimeCast - Age of Bronze as a stimulus, the children will understand first-hand just how savage life was in Pre-historic Britain. They will dress in authentic costumes, participate in a Bronze Age burial, help create Bronze from Copper and Tin, handle real, ancient Bronze artefacts and re-enact the most exciting parts of my book.

Workshop Provided by Emily Fellah

In a typical session I show the group my portfolio and demonstrate how I create characters. I introduce them to some inspiring illustrated fiction then teach them to draw a character step-by-step. I take the group through the fundamentals of character creation, then support them in creating original characters and either comic strips or picture book plans.
