Ravenwood - Andrew Peters

We were delighted to bring the fantastic Andrew Peters to Fox Covert Primary and St John's RC Primary in Edinburgh on 9th May 2011. Andrew spoke to his audience about ecology, conservation and belief, plus the true nature of power, as well his fast-paced action-packed adventure in the trees, Ravenwood!

Author Biography

Andrew Peters was born 1965 in Hildesheim, Germany, and brought up in London. He has been climbing and talking to trees from the time he was small - so the story of Ravenwood has been a long time in development! Andrew is also known as the tallest poet in the UK and has worked in many schools under the name of Andrew Fusek Peters. He lives in a Shropshire with his wife and two children. 

More information on Andrew can be found on the Chicken House website.

Pupil feedback:

Today I saw a funny man

Who made me split my sides

He made me understand Ravenwood more

So now I read more and more.

Andrew Peters is one of the best authors and presenters that I've ever met/heard of! I felt I wanted to laugh out loud all the time but I knew that would spoil it for him and everyone so I just thought it instead. My personal favourite part was when he made the glass of water talk.

I liked it when he opened his wings and I thought he was funny. Zoe, 9, Fox Covert Primary School
