CHILDREN'S author Shoo Rayner will visit Monmouth Library this Saturday (14th February) to read from his new book, Dragon Gold.

Taking place at 11am, Shoo will also be showing the audience how to draw dragons.

The local author and illustrator of more than 180 children's books, has created titles including the Ginger Ninja, Dark Claw and Rex Files series and worked with Rose Impey, illustrating her Animal Crackers books.

Monmouthshire's cabinet member with responsibility for libraries, Councillor Bob Greenland, said: "Shoo's visit to Monmouth Library looks like being a great way to usher in the half-term break." 

There will be an opportunity to purchase Shoo's books at the end of the session.
