Gareth Peter: This Book is Full of Elves

Elves

Saturday 9 December, 10.30am.

Join local childre*n*’s author, Gareth Peters, as he reads his brand new Christmas book ‘This Book is Full of Elves.’ There will also be the opportunity to buy a book and get it signed by Gareth!??

The arrival of his own children inspired Gareth to begin writing children's books. Reading to them is a treasured pastime and his ambition is to inspire children to love reading. He now employs his understanding of rhyme and rhythm, crafted through years of song writing, to create stories that are a delight to read aloud. Gareth lives in Nottingham with his partner, two huskies and two beautiful adopted children.
