Remembering Antonia Forest

Following Antonia Forest’s death in 2003, Sue Sims and Hilary Clare, authors of The Encyclopedia of Girls’ School Stories, decided to hold two events to celebrate her life and work. The London Day explores Shakespeare’s London, so vividly described in the Player books. The Bournemouth Conference, where Forest lived for over 50 years, explores her work. We warmly invite you to join us at these events.

Bournemouth Conference
