"A triumph of nonsense." - The Times

Come along and meet Gary Panton and Dotty Sutton, the author and illustrator duo behind the hit children's book series The Notwitches. Hear author Gary talk about the creation of the books and read a short section of one of the stories, before illustrator Dotty leads an interactive draw-along for kids and adults alike to join in with. Discover how Dotty draws the characters from the story, and have a go yourself!

There will also be a Q&A with Gary and Dotty, followed by a signing for anyone who would like to buy the books.

This is a completely free event to celebrate the publication of The Notwitches: Prison Break, the second book in the series.

Please note, children must be accompanied by an adult.

Praise for The Notwitches:

"A madcap adventure, perfect for young readers growing in confidence." - The Scotsman

"A big heart, and the spirit and effervescence of Roald Dahl.” - The Lancashire Evening Post

"I’ve not laughed so hard when reading a book for a very long time!” - Armadillo online magazine

“I’m utterly hooked! I feel 8 years old again – with a great book I can’t put down. It’s funny, it’s moving, the characters have strong voices … a magically marvellous debut for Gary Panton, with spellbinding illustrations by Dotty Sutton.” - Kirsten Allen, book blogger
