Author and illustrator Peter Horacek paid a visit to Hampton for the opening of St Mary’s Primary School’s library last month.

The author led workshops in illustrating and story-telling for children at the two-class school in Oldfield Road, which opened in 2013.

Headteacher Catherine Davis said: "It was absolutely wonderful and so inspiring.

"He made it seem very simple and the children wanted to be able to produce work like he did, so every child in the school has contributed to a huge mural with characters and story ideas."
