# Mrs Brown's favourite author- exciting news!

  ![Image of Mrs Brown's favourite author- exciting news!](https://files.schudio.com/alston-moor-federation-2/images/blog/julia.JPG)  24 August 2025   [Bev Brown](https://alstonmoorfederation.org.uk/blog/author/bbrown)   [APS Reading Hub](https://alstonmoorfederation.org.uk/blog/category/aps-reading-hub)

The Hedgehog Bookshop in Penrith is welcoming Julia Donaldson to a special event on Thursday 11th September to launch her new book. Anyone who has been in Cross Fell will beable to tell you that Julia Donaldson is my absolute favourite author so I am very excited to hear she is visiting Penrith and will also have on offer some of her classics to purchase and sign on the day if anyone is interested.
I am not linked to the bookshop but just wanted to share in case anyone is interested- details can be found on their Facebook page.
