About the Lectures 'a fitting reflection of Philippa’s own wide-ranging interests' |
“She was one of the very finest writers British children’s literature has ever had, and everything she wrote has a touch of the particular vision and understanding of human nature that was hers alone.”
Philip Pullman |
The 2025 Lecture
We are were all greatly saddened when the founder of the Philippa Pearce Lecture, Morag Styles, died in December 2024. This year's lecture will therefore be in loving memory of Morag and celebration of her life and work. Morag Styles was Professor of Children's Poetry at the University of Cambridge, and championed the work of Caribbean poets both in the UK and the Caribbean. So for the 2025 lecture we are thrilled to welcome poet and performer:
