Meg Cabot visits Dover Girls Grammar School

Meg Cabot and Louise 1.jpg

Author of The Princess Diaries and other wonderful fiction for girls, Meg Cabot, was our guest for a private event at Dover Girls Grammar School on Friday 19th September. Meg delighted the students with a 40 minute talk and question & answer session prior to formally opening the school's new library. Luckily we have captured the entire talk on a four part video, the links to which are here (for video links).

Click here for a list of Meg's books with some special discounts available to order or from the shop.

Above, Meg Cabot and Louise Vance, owner of The Sandwich Bookshop, in the newly opened DGGS library.
