  • Vivian French
  • Event name:Vivian French, Oundle Festival of Literature 2007
  • About this event: Come and have fun with stories! Vivian French will be talking about how she started life as an actor, then became a storyteller, and now tells her stories in a different way – by writing books for children. She’ll play the Getting Ideas Game, by asking her audience to join her in finding a Beginning, Middle and an End. She’ll also tell a story, maybe an old traditional tale or maybe something very new – in fact, one that’s just been made up! As the author of over 200 books on all subjects and for all ages, she is among the most borrowed authors in UK libraries.
