SF Said is a British Muslim author of Middle Eastern origin. He was born in Beirut, Lebanon, and came to live in Britain when he was 2 years old. He will tell the story of how he went from being a young reader like the children to writing award-winning books such as Tyger, Phoenix and Varjak Paw, which was listed by BookTrust as one of the 100 best children's books of the past 100 years. His talk will include material about his own childhood reading, insights into the writing process, a reading from Tyger, and a live Q&A at the end!
