"Our Year 7 and 8 classes were delighted to have a Zoom visit from Philip this week. It was fascinating to hear his reasons for writing The Arrow of Apollo and to hear about all his other books as well. The guided creative writing exercises that he did with the children inspired them to come up with some fascinating myth-based ideas, and I know they will be able to use these as prompts for longer pieces of writing. His visit was a real highlight." - Notting Hill Preparatory School.
'A huge thank you for coming to Kensington last week to share The Liberators with the children. They were all transfixed during your reading and many of them have rushed off to buy their own copy.'
