FLIP on display
While I was over in Huddersfield last week to do a couple of school events, I was fortunate enough to meet and work with Sonia Benster, owner of the marvellous Children’s Bookshop in Lidget Street, in the town’s Lindley area. Sonia has been in the children’s and teenage book trade for nearly 40 years and what she doesn’t know about it isn’t worth knowing. I’m particularly grateful to her for giving Flip such great support – supplying copies of the book for sale at my events in the area, running the bookstall, and even joining in the writing exercises I set for the pupils. And, as these photos of her shop testify, Sonia has given Flip a smashing display in her window. It’s a great little shop (and not so little, actually – once you go inside there’s a real Tardis effect . . . only without the intergalactic time travel.)
