We have author Beth O’Brien writing for us today about her book, Wolf Siren and it’s links to a well known fairytale. Beth speaks about her own visual impairment in relation to fairytales.

Finally catching up after a whirlwind few days in Bologna at the book fair. Sadly missed out on a gelato, but did get to chat to lots of publishers, scouts and film studios about some fabulous children’s books!
