World Book Day
On March 1st, World Book Day, David visited Plympton St Mary C of E Infant School to give a reading. David writes: "I read my stories to five classes of children: 4-5 year olds, 5-6 year olds and 6-7 year olds. They hung on every word and asked some delightful questions afterwards. At the end I signed and dedicated books for the children. I found it very rewarding that the children enjoyed my stories so much and it has made all the effort worthwhile".
