Travel through myth, magic and the wilds of imagination as one of the UK’s most enchanting children’s authors, Sophie Anderson, invites us into a world shaped by folk tales, family stories and wonder, in the intimate Sam Wanamaker Playhouse. Part of our family event series Telling Tales.

In celebration of her bestselling novels and her rich body of work inspired by the Slavic and fairy tales of her childhood, Sophie joins us for a captivating journey through her writing life. Hear the stories behind her much-loved books, including The House with Chicken Legs, The Girl Who Speaks Bear, The Castle of Tangled Magic, and The Snow Girl, and discover how ancient folklore continues to spark her imagination.

You’ll also have the chance to ask Sophie your questions in a Q&A session as part of this event. There will also be an opportunity to purchase books and have yours signed after the event.
