Jonathan Stroud to visit Earl High School in Halesowen
Best selling fantasy author Jonathan Stroud will talk about his new book Heroes of the Valley at Earls High School in Halesowen. The talk will be at the school in Furnace Lane on Monday February 9 at 7pm as part of Dudley Children’s Book Group. Entrance is free. Tickets are available in advance from Books Unlimited in Stourbridge or on the door on the night.
Jonathan Stroud was born in Bedford and grew up in St Albans. He always had a burning desire to write a full-length work of fiction which he would have wanted to read when he was younger, and so after graduating from York University he embarked on a publishing and writing career in the game book and non-fiction department at Walker Books. He moved to Kingfisher Publications to edit children’s non-fiction, and for a time juggled working with writing; but Jonathan is now a full-time writer.
