July 2015 sees publication of the final collection of brand new stories about everyone’s favourite naughty little boy, his perfect brother, his long-suffering Mum and Dad, and his funny friends and frenemies too. The publication of HORRID HENRY’S CANNIBAL CURSE sees the end of over 20 years of entertaining children – and their parents, teachers and carers, with total UK sales across the Horrid Henry range currently exceeding 21 million copies (and with rights sold in 31 languages.)
Born in America, Francesca Simon was a journalist before becoming a children’s writer. She receives in excess of 100 fan letters a week from readers and lives in North London.
She is also an outspoken supporter of and a passionate ambassador for children’s literacy and access to literature. She is a trustee of the World Book Day charity, and has been actively involved with many other literacy charities and initiatives including Beanstalk, The Reading Agency, Booktrust’s Children’s Reading Fund and Storybook Dads.
We're delighted that she has agreed to do a Q&A for us - add your questions here and we will send them over to her on Tuesday 7 July.
Ohhhh - and we also have five sets of the very first and very last Horrid Henry books to give away to people who post questions.
