The inventive star of children’s literature talks to us about his school (or is that prison?) career, the genius who translates his books into Japanese, and the definition of a ‘lert’. After inadvertently revealing the identity of the great novelist whose festival performance persuaded him writers should never read their own work aloud, Philip nevertheless indulged us with a stave from Awful End (just republished for its 20th anniversary), complete with sound effects. Cosy up with the kids and enjoy.
