An Interview with Griselda Gifford

The Letterpress Project has asked authors and illustrators to think about what has inspired them as artists, what their favourite books are and how they relate to their audience - we've also asked them if they themselves are book collectors.

We are delighted to present an exclusive interview with the children's author, Griselda Gifford. In her profile on the Amazon website she tells us:

I am the author of over 30 books for children - many sold abroad as well as the UK. I was born in Monte Carlo, where my father had a gambling systerm which failed! Since then I have lived in England but enjoy travelling abroad on holiday. I have two children and two step-children - also grand-children. I paint and sometimes sell pictures - go to church but recently, have been attending Quaker meetings. I love talking to friends (too much!). reading, walking our dog Toby, visiting schools to talk about my books - have been all over UK, visited Texas schools and also a French Lycee. I have recently been teaching adults Creative Writing. I also enjoy ballet, theatre, film and some TV.
