To my delight, I was approached to write an introduction to the new @OxfordChildrens Classics edition of The Wind in the Willows. This book has been a touchstone at many pivotal points in my life, so it is a great honour to introduce it to new readers. Available @Waterstones

Pre-order your CLUTCH from my lovely local bookshop, & I will personalise it with a dedication to the reader & stamp it with my very special stamp! It's good to support independent bookshops. If you have an eager reader in your life, why not pre-order them an easter treat?

[M. G. Leonard @MGLnrd]

I do love World Book Week! If any of your children dress as one of my characters do post a pic and @ me so I can say hello!

[M. G. Leonard @MGLnrd]

Look what the postie just delivered! The delight of seeing your book in print for the first time never gets less exciting. This one is for the bird lovers. @paddydonnelly artwork looks divine. Thankyou @WalkerBooksUK CLUTCH will be in bookshops in April. 🪺📚#EasterRead

I have spent the afternoon listening to this. It is incredible. As you would expect but better. Play it to the children in your life. They will be spellbound. I cannot wait to share it with my children. Another triumph from @MGLnrd

I love libraries so much that I'm popping into @KirkleesLibrary next Monday for a spot of Twitch-ing. If you're local, you should pop in. It's FREE

I'm doing a number of public events and festivals over the summer. The best place to find out what I'm doing when and where is by going to the event calendar on my website: https://t.co/6rlhNKouMx
