Our Place in Space | Oliver Jeffers Book Signing

Sat 30 July 2022

Midsummer Common Activities Tent

Oliver's critically acclaimed picture books have been translated into over fifty languages and sold over 14 million copies worldwide. He has been the recipient of numerous awards, including a New York Times Best Illustrated Children’s Books Award, Bologna Rigazzi Award, An Irish Book Award, and a United Kingdom Literary Association Award.

Oliver's visual world is a unity of curiosity and humour and while investigating the ways the human mind understands its world, his work also functions as comic relief in the face of futility. His spellbinding illustrations, thought-provoking stories and characteristically bold handwritten text has made him one of the most visionary artists of our time. His commitment to his work was honoured recently when he received an MBE for his services to the arts.

Don't miss out on this out-of-this-world opportunity to meet the man behind the stories and the epic Our Place in Space sculpture trail!
