Bestselling author Liz Pichon is interviewed by some of her fans

Bestselling author Liz Pichon discusses Tom Gates, garden sheds and chocolate wafers with some of her fans

Liz Pichon, the bestselling author of the 'Tom Gates' series of books, meets some of her fans and discusses her work as a writer and illustrator. She explains how she came up with Tom and the other characters in the books, and how she thinks of ideas for all the many things that happen to them. We hear how she writes in her garden shed, talks out loud to herself, and dreams of holidays on a sunny beach ... All this, and a dastardly trick that can be done with the wrapper of one of Tom Gates' favourite snacks, a chocolate wafer.
