Write Away Conference
This inspirational conference, held last Friday, was on the theme of Something Old, Something New looking at approaches to classic literature, culture and heritage in education.

John Agard gave a wonderful performance, with comment and explanation, of extracts from his new retelling of Dante's Inferno to round off the day which had included Chris Riddell and Martin Jenkins, talking about the processes of adapting and illustrating well known classics; plus a panel of illustrators (Anthony Browne, Emma Chichester Clark and Jane Ray) discussing their motivations in illustrating the same classic fairy tale - Little Red Riding Hood.
