A WONDERFUL DAY at the Carolei-Dipignano Comprehensive School, talking about the Evolution of the English Novel including my hero, Sir Walter Scott. Followed by presentation of 3 extracts from 3 of my books with musical accompaniment and then a vigorous question-answer session all in English with the very well-prepared teenagers of the school, all rigorously in English. My compliments and thanks to Headteacher Domenico De Luca and his excellent teaching staff for an unforgettable occasion.
