Sorry, but I really hope people who love #thewildrobotmovie know it was inspired by my book. It's mentioned in the credits but most people don't read that stuff. If you love the movie you should check out the book! There's more to the story and it's a quick read. #thewildrobot

Closing libraries and making school librarians redundant should be an impossible thing to imagine in a civilised country. These are vital assets. As Carnegie said, ‘a library outranks any other one thing a community can do to benefit its people.’

It is a shameful: denying those students whose parents can’t afford to pay for it the chance to learn a language that opens up immense vistas of fascination

Bring magic to the season with "The Newborn Child" by Jackie Morris. This stunning, lyrical retelling of the Nativity shares the hopes and fears of a young mother-to-be in a new land. A perfect holiday read!

We are extremely sad to hear of the death of our revered long-time author David Lodge. Our thoughts are with his children and family. His influential place in the history of British letters will endure through the wonderful body of work he leaves behind. Read the full statement:
