Greg McLeod draws Clunkalot, the mechanical horse from Knight Sir Louis!

Oh Yay! Oh Yay! We present Greg McLeod - co-creator and illustrator of Knight Sir Louis!

Event Testimonials

A ... huge thank you for coming to the Oxford Literary Festival last week and for the brilliant event. It was so much fun, and a terrific celebration of creativity. I know the grown-ups enjoyed it almost as much as the younger members of the audience, and they had an absolute ball!
