Emma Carroll, St Austell Festival Of Children's Literature (12/06/25)

She’s been called the Queen of Historical Fiction — and with titles like The Houdini Inheritance and Letters From the Lighthouse, it’s no surprise.

Now, bestselling children’s author Emma Carroll is heading to St Austell as part of the town’s much-loved Festival of Children’s Literature.

Henry Rosewall caught up with her ahead of her exclusive writing workshop, which takes place on Saturday, 14th June at St John’s Chapel — and features a sneak peek at her exciting new series Dracula and Daughters, months before it hits the shelves.
