Inkspots with Katherine Rundell

Author of Rooftoppers and The Good Thieves

Whether tumbling amongst the chimney pots of Paris, or scouring the streets of New York, Katherine Rundell’s characters are always courageous adventurers – just like her.

She scaled the spires of Oxford University before penning Rooftoppers.

She swam in the Amazon with pink wild river dolphins and learnt how to survive in the jungle to write The Explorer.

She braved the dizzying heights of the trapeze to better understand Samuel’s passion in The Good Thieves.

Now, Katherine Rundell invites you to join her at a special online talk. Together, we will dive into the tales of her page-turning quests and discover more about how she wrote her thrilling stories.

Don’t miss this chance to hear from one of Britain’s premier storytellers and quiz her about the daring travels which inspired her best-selling books.
