Perhaps best known for her official sequel, Peter Pan in Scarlet, she has won numerous awards, including three Whitbread/Costa Children's Book Awards and the Carnegie Medal in 1989 and 2018. 

Nick Warburton is an acclaimed playwright and screenwriter who has won the BBC/Radio Times Drama Award, the Sandford St Martin Award and the Tinniswood Award. His work for radio includes A Play for the Heart, commemorating the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death, and an adaptation of The Canterbury Tales for the cast of The Archers.
