Meet Holly Black & Tony DiTerlizzi - Spiderwick Chronicle
Join Spiderwick authors Holly Black and Tony DiTerlizzi for a signing session
The authors of the Spiderwick series will be appearing in the flesh at Waterstone's Piccadilly for a signing session.
Tony DiTerlizzi and Holly Black will be heading to Central London for a special event to celebrate the film's release, where they will be talking, answering questions from the audience and signing copies of their books.
The plot of the Spiderwick series goes like this... Long ago Jared Grace's great, great uncle, Arthur Spiderwick, discovered a world of fantastical creatures. He recorded all his amazing findings in a field guide and hid it well. For years it was guarded safely and hardly anyone knew it even existed - until the Grace children moved into the old, abandoned Spiderwick Estate. One day while nine-year-old Jared Grace is exploring his new house he discovers Arthur Spiderwick's field guide hidden deep within the upstairs attic and meets his first fantastical creature, the house brownie named Thimbletack. Once the Grace children open their eyes to the fantastical world of sprites, goblins and faeries, there's no turning back. Now it's up to them to keep the field guide out of harm's way or else they must suffer the consequences.
The event will be taking place on Thursday March 20th from 5pm. Tickets are free and are available from the store.
