An exploration of power, prestige and bravery full of Jamie's trademark world building, humour and heart.

Arkspire is a brand new series from the author and illustrator of the bestselling Frostheart series, featuring an exciting new fantasy world and characters. The story centres around a great city ruled by a group of all-powerful magicians and the one child who has the power to bring an end to their reign.

Jamie's event will introduce young readers to this exciting new fantasy world and cast of characters, and a share look into how he brings these to life through illustrations. There will be live drawing and draw-a-longs with Jamie throughout the event

Jamie Littler

Jamie Littler is one of the UK's bestselling and most beloved children's author-illustrators, whose work has been translated around the world.

His debut novel, Frostheart, was an instant bestseller and nominated for the prestigious Branford Boase award, which he followed with the equally ambitious and exciting new series Arkspire. Jamie’s previous illustration work includes Hamish and the Worldstoppers which was the bestselling children's debut of 2015, and Wilf the Mighty Worrier, shortlisted for the Laugh Out Loud Book Awards.

When not trying to tame his unnaturally fast growing hair or having staring matches with next door's cat, he likes drawing, colouring in, cutting things out and sticking things in. He lives in Brighton.
