BILLY Bob Buttons, author of such books as Felicity Brady , I Think I murdered Miss and the Boy who Piddled in Grandad's Slippers was a guest visitor to Badsey First School recently when he spent the morning with Key Stage 2 children.

He read excerpts from his books, explaining how he creates characters and settings and how he plans the stories.

The children were inspired to write their own stories following his visit and were delighted they had met a published author.
