Paul Stewart and Chris Riddell Tour September 2009

In September 2009 we embarked upon our longest tour in many years, a monster-2-week-tour-of-the-Highlands with award-winning, popular and funny author-illustrator duo Paul Stewart and Chris Riddell!

Paul and Chris are most famous for their Edge Chronicles Series which came to a close with the publication of The Immortals in Spring 2009, but have also written The Far Flung Adventures series as well as the Barnaby Grimes books. Chris is also the author (and illustrator) of the award-winning Ottaline books and has illustrated Greenaway Medal-winning picture books as well!

You can listen to an audio interview with Paul and Chris talking about their experiences of the tour.

Or if you would like to find out more about them, please visit Paul and Chris's website.

We have also created special Teacher resources to accompany the tour which can be found in the Scottish Book Trust Resources section.
