Testimonials:
"Anna James' visit to Glenthorne High School was a magical experience for our students. She met with our entire Year 7 year group and delivered an interactive, engaging and hilarious presentation. Her brilliant Pages & Co. series has consistently been our most popular books at the school, her presence has had a huge impact. I'd highly recommend Anna for any school visit!"
Lucas Maxwell - Librarian, Glenthorne High School
"Anna visited us in November 2019 and we would thoroughly recommend her to other schools and librarians. She was thoroughly prepared for her talk, spoke clearly and with confidence and had an excellent manner with the pupils. The content of her talk was appropriate, interesting and was delivered in an innovative and clever way. We received very positive feedback from pupils and staff after Anna's visit."
Duncan Wright - Senior Librarian, St George's School for Girls
