About this deal

We want a song about throwing crumpled-up wrapping paper into the bin” was a typical request from the BBC. For example, the facial expressions from the different sea creatures to describe emotions and feelings. I used to memorise poems as a child and it means a lot to me when parents tell me their child can recite one of my books. Julia and Malcolm were involved in the Brighton folk club scene, performing floor spots of comedy songs written by Donaldson, often within days of being composed. I studied Drama and French at Bristol University, where I met Malcolm, a guitar-playing medic to whom I’m now married.

A great book with rhythmic text and the illustrations are all in detail which makes it lovely to read to the children. The tour was designed to celebrate libraries but also to generate publicity about the plight of some of them. He hears a tale of his current endeavour and tries to find out where it came from realising it stemmed from his previous tales. Here his attempts to sleep on their youth hostel floor led to eviction and the trio moved out, sleeping in a camp site and even a field, by which time a deep friendship had been formed. Classmate little Johnny Dory loves Tiddler's tall tales so much he tells them to his granny and hence the stories spread far and wide.When Donaldson was six her father contracted polio and thereafter was confined to a wheelchair, though he still led an active life, working as a lecturer in the Maudsley Hospital's Institute of Psychiatry, where he pioneered genetic studies using the model of identical twins brought up apart. The inspiration for Mirror-Belle was Hamish's imaginary childhood friend Sammy, who lived behind a wardrobe mirror.

The children could use their imagination with inspiration from the book to expand with their own exciting tale that could be an addition to the book.In 1983 the family of four moved to Bristol where Malcolm Donaldson was appointed as Senior Registrar in Paediatrics to United Bristol Hospitals.

But it makes no difference, Tiddler is still late each day; on the second day of the week, he says he was swimming with a mermaid and captured by a squid. Following the publication of The Gruffalo she was invited to book festivals, participating in the Edinburgh International Book Festival every year from 1999 onwards, and appearing regularly at Hay, Cheltenham and Bath festivals, as well as at many theatres. A little old lady lives all by herself in her house but she's not happy - it's just too small, even for one.

We work separately - he’s in London and I’m in Glasgow - but he sends me letters with lovely funny pictures on the envelopes. Donaldson studied Drama and French at Bristol University (1967–1970), graduating with a 2:1 honours degree. The tree gives food and shelter to a host of animals, from squirrels and badgers to birds and beetles. Julia Donaldson is always reliable to tell a fun rhyming tale and Axel Schefflers wonderful illustrations makes this another enjoyable children's book for bed time.
