Anyone who lives in Crystal Palace knows it’s great, which is why it’s just become one of Lonely Planet’s Top 10 secret communities IN THE WORLD.

Here at Miramus, we like to think we’ve played a small part in that thanks to the Crystal Palace Children’s Book Festival. The festival, run by Miramus founder and children’s author/illustrator, Alex Milway, will be returning at a slightly later date this year (thanks to the arrival of a Miramus baby).

New Poster unveiled!

Here’s a sneak preview of the poster, designed by the amazing Sarah McIntyre (illustrator of Morris The Mankiest Monster), who will be taking part in the festival – along with many other marvellous, award-winning writers and illustrators.

We’ll be announcing more from this year’s line up in the coming months. We’re very excited about this year’s festival. Last year’s was great – with an art exhibition, countless amazing workshops (like How to Draw Zombies!), and author readings in the Bookseller Crow on the Hill.

But this year will be EVEN BETTER! We’ve got some new venues to unveil, a very special one-off publication, and a brand new bit just for teenagers.

More announcements coming soon!
