UPDATE - Alan Lee signs advance copies of new book at the Weta Cave
About the author
Adrian Mitchell (1932-2008) was the first journalist to interview the Beatles and caught the spirit of the time with his anti-war poem 'Tell me lies about Vietnam'. He adapted many foreign classics for the Royal Shakespeare Company and the National Theatre. His last three books were Shapeshifters, Tell me Lies (Bloodaxe Books) and Umpteen Pockets (Orchard Books). Adrians death in 2008 was a sad loss to literature, to the theatre and to children everywhere.
Update!
The Weta Cave was pumping as usual when we have a book signing. The ever-popular Academy Award winner, Alan Lee, signed advance copies of Shapeshifters.
