The Yoto Carnegies, the UK’s longest running and best loved book awards for children and young people are partnering with Sedbergh School, Sedbergh Prep School, and Pen&Inc magazine for a free day-long festival of events celebrating outstanding reading experiences for children and young people in Sedbergh, England’s Book Town.
Scheduled for Tuesday 23rd April, the festival’s daytime programme will cater to school groups, teachers and librarians.
The evening session, set on World Book Night, will be open to the public and will feature a headline appearance by Anne Fine, a two-time recipient of the Carnegie Medal for Writing. Notably, Fine authored ‘Madame Doubtfire,’ later adapted into the blockbuster film starring Robin Williams. Anne Fine was the first novelist to be honoured as the UK Children’s Laureate (2001-2003) and has contributed to various genres, including picture books, chapter books, middle-grade fiction, young adult fiction, and adult novels.
