PHILIPPA PEARCE died over a year ago, but respect and affection for her writing is as strong as ever. In her memory, a series of five lectures has been planned, each intended to celebrate excellence in writing for children.
The 2008 inaugural lecture was a direct tribute to her work, and was held on 11th September 2008, at Homerton College, Cambridge. The 2009 lecture will be held in the same venue and will be given by Michael Rosen.
NEWS: The inaugural lecture was a great success and was very well attended. In a few weeks time, we hope to make audio files of the event available at this website. We are not yet taking bookings for the 2009 lecture. Please check this website periodically for updates.
