An award-winning children's author enthralled parents and youngsters alike at two discussions on the joys of reading this weekend.

Jeremy Strong (pictured with youngsters at South Norwood Library), winner of the 1997 Children's Book Award, has written over 15 books for children, his Viking stories recently adapted for television.

The writer joined Family Reading Groups at Shirley Library and South Norwood Library on November 24.

Jeremy Strong will be returning to Croydon on December 15 at Ashburton Library in Lower Addiscombe Road from 2.15pm.
