Are you suffering from Potter-stalgia?

Interview: Nick D'Aloisio - App Whizkid

Nick D'Aloisio is 16 years old, attends King's College in Wimbledon and whilst revising for a history exam came up with the idea to write an App called 'Summly' that can summarise text and web page searches.

I'm sure we've read about a handful of techy whizkids over time but Nick D'Aloisio is so more than just a whizkid. He happens to be frightfully nice, modest and well-mannered. For my interview click here. I hope to hear or read more about him in the not so distant future.

Interview: Axel Scheffler - The Gruffalo

Why didn't you know - there's no such thing as a Gruffalo. That doesn't mean it doesn't exist in my home, afterall I can almost recite the entire story by heart given the number of times I've read it to my children.  The much loved Gruffalo is written by Julia Donaldson and illustrated by Axel Scheffler. I didn't quite get to meet the Gruffalo but I did get to chat with Axel. To read my interview, click here

The stage adaption of the Gruffalo will be playing at the Rose Theatre in Wimbledon from 15 - 18 February.
