Hi Debra,
My Year 5 class attended your talk, at Waterstones in
Sutton, in July 2005. I have been asked, by Julia Burridge,
to send you some feedback from this.

The talk, on "Aggie Lichen; Pilp collector", was a
thoroughly enjoyable one for all children. They heard about
the process of writing the book aswell as extracts from the
text.
The personal touch; how ideas were gathered, how the drafts
were produced etc, ensured all children felt able to go away
and write themselves. Many of the children bought the book
and have since commented on their enjoyment of it.
I would like to pass on my Thanks to Debra for her
inspirational talk and thought provoking book.

Hope this is of use. Thanks again for the opportunity to
hear you speak about the book.
Nicki Douglas
