If you’re loving the new Netflix series Lockwood & Co, don’t miss the chance to put your questions about Lockwood, Lucy and George to author Jonathan Stroud. Plus, discover how Jonathan created the fictional landscape, daring characters and audacious exploits for his new series The Outlaws Scarlett and Browne, and fall in love with them too.
The outlaws Scarlett and Browne march across a future England that has become a wilderness as lawless as the old Wild West and in which Oxford is a flood-land. The two more than hold their own as gunfights and monsters collide, and you won’t find more thrilling adventures.
Fans of Bartimaeus very welcome too.
Stroud wrote his first novel while working as an editor at Walker Books. He is the author of two internationally bestselling series, the award-winning Bartimaeus sequence, which has been published in 36 languages worldwide, and the critically acclaimed Lockwood & Co, which is currently being adapted by Netflix. Here he talks to reading and creative literacy consultant Ben O’Donnell, who runs the BBC National Short Story Award and Young Writers’ Award.
