Children

Andy Stanton with Simeon Courtie

Hands up if you know where Lamonic Bibber is and why the Lamonical Chronicle is the town’s only and second best newspaper. Yes, you’ve entered the world of Mr Gum, a sort of League of Gentlemen for kids and the creation of Andy Stanton whose works have been translated into thirty two languages, sold some 4 million copies in the UK alone and which delight children of all ages... even some of the 50plus year old kids who help run Lockdown LitFest. Andy is a complete marvel and we are utterly delighted - and little bit scared - to have him join us in our studio!
