What the authors say about the film...

Catherine & Laurence Anholt: "As with all the best ideas, ‘Children’s Authors TV’ is based on a very simple formula – get the kids who read the books to talk to authors in a personal and unscripted way. The ensuing footage is spontaneous and revealing in a way that formal interviews seldom are. We are delighted to be involved with this exciting project and are certain that these carefully made films will provide a valuable resource to schools and anybody who is interested in looking beneath the covers of the world of children’s books."
