Download Jeremy Strong Interview

Streaker is a mixed-up kind of dog. You can see from her thin body and powerful legs that she’s got a lot of greyhound in her, along with quite a bit of Ferrari and a large chunk of whirlwind.
From the 100 Mile An Hour Dog by Jeremy Strong.

In this Storynory Extra, Natasha visits Reigate Priory Junior School in the south east of England to meet a genius at making children laugh, the best selling author, Jeremy Strong. Jeremy’s most famous book is the delightful and hilarious One Hundred Mile An Hour Dog. His latest is called Beware Killer Tomatoes. Jeremy held 600 children spellbound with his stories about writing, and his reading which is almost as speedy as Streaker the dog. Afterwards he chatted to Natasha in the Bookworms shop, just across the road from the school. And of course, Natasha reads from some of Jeremy’s funniest books.

Download Young Bond Interview.

In this Storynory Extra, Natasha Gostwick speaks to actor, comedian, and best-selling author, Charlie Higson about his third Young Bond book, Double or Die.

Young Bond traces the famous secret agent, James Bond, back to his boyhood when he was at the top British public school, Eton. His stories are just as thrilling as the grown-up Bond adventures, but they are more suitable for kids. Actually, Bertie thinks some dads might like reading them too.

Charlie tells us about why he believes action and adventure is the way to encourage boys to read. We hear from some young readers at the book launch. And of course Natasha gives us a thrilling extract.

In this our first Storynory Extra Natasha meets Ed Vere, a fine artist who writes and illustrates Children’s books. Ed’s book, The Getaway, is about a bandit mouse who is on the run after he broke into Moo O’ Sullivan’s Cheese Parlour.

Ed’s illustrations are a fantastic collage of photographs, cartoons, speech bubbles and more. And the more you look at them, the more you find in them.

Natasha spoke to Ed in his studio in the East End of London. Duration 7.5 minutes.

You’ll find more pictures of Ed, Natasha, and Fingers McGraw in our Flickr Group which you are invited to join.
