Short Stories / Antman

This collection of stories shows selected highlights from four annual reports. We have visited libraries old and radically new. We were there when Dame Jacqueline Wilson – Childrens Laureate 2005-07 – visited the PLR office to launch a new computer system and meet children of the staff. A meeting of the PLR Advisory Group provided real insight into the characters charged with the schemes direction and a gathering at the House of Commons to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the right featured the cream of British authorship. Ralph Steadman was Ralph Steadman in his studio (illustrators qualify, as do editors and translators) and finally we accompanied a school trip to ‘Seven Stories’ – The National Centre for Children’s Books in Newcastle.
