Marcus Sedgwick visit

Marcus answering questions from Abingdon boys

4 February 2010

Marcus Sedgwick visited today as our ‘Joint Abingdon Author’, hosted this year by the School of St Helen & St Katharine. He spoke to 1st and 2nd years on various topics related to his book ‘My Swordhand is Singing’, such as what makes a vampire, vampires in film and even how you could judge a book by its cover, as well as answering questions from his audience.
