Author’s own history lesson

A CHILDREN’S author stepped back in time to revisit her old school and enthral pupils with extracts from her new book.

Nyssa Pinkerton returned to Dirleton Primary School last week to read from The Peeries Monster and the Colour Crocodile to P1 to P3 pupils

Headteacher Sarah Ogden said: “It was fantastic for the children to not only meet an author but to make the connection to the school. It really made the children believe that they could be whatever they want to be.”

The book, published by Fledgling Press, is priced at £9.99.
