Children's author Nicholas Fisk has died at the grand age of 92. I never read any of his books, but he did come to my primary school during our special Book Week. He never actually spoke to our year (we got H.E. Todd, the author of the delightful Bobby Brewster books), but I do remember looking out the window and seeing some of the older kids sitting under a tree with this man who apparently wrote science fiction for children. It all looked rather intriguing and fun!
