This is a rare opportunity to listen to the acclaimed and inspiring children’s authors, Philip Pullman and Michael Rosen in conversation about children’s literature. Philip Pullman will be talking about his writing and some of the stories and ideas behind his influential and much loved books.

Do you have questions about Philip Pullman’s hugely popular and famous work, the fantasy trilogy His Dark Materials? Are you interested in finding out more about Philip Pullman’s more recent trilogy The Book of Dust and how it links with his earlier writing? Philip Pullman has claimed the new series is neither a sequel, nor a prequel, but an ‘equal’. The first book of the new series is La Belle Sauvage (2017); the second book The Secret Commonwealth (2019); and the third is eagerly awaited. We look forward to hearing about his life, work, inspiration and future directions.

This work is hosted by the Centre for Language, Culture and Learning and connected with the MA Children’s Literature programme at Goldsmiths, University of London. There will be a charge of £15 a head with tickets redeemable against a book by Philip Pullman or Michael Rosen from ‘The Word’ bookshop, on the night.

The event will take place in the Ian Gulland Lecture Theatre, Goldsmiths, University of London.
