One young fan dressed as Alfie for World Book Day

Alfie stars at World Book Day

ByGed

One young fan dressed as Alfie for World Book DayThis young fan had “Alfie’s Story” bought for him last year by his grandparents. 

His grandma wrote to me recently to tell me that, for the last few months, he has asked for the story almost every night as his bedtime read.  He also sleeps with the Alfie cat toy.

Grandma sent me this photo to show he had changed into Alfie cat for World Book Day.

And she ended her message by saying “Thank you for bringing the pleasure of reading to him”.

I’m sure you can imagine how delighted I was to read this lovely email.

    16th March 2017 When I heard that the High Peak Luncheon Club had been set up originally by teachers and headteachers, you will understand that I was feeling a tad nervous on arrival at the Old Hall Hotel in Buxton last Thursday.
