Rob Biddulph at the Oxford Literary Festival

  • The Sheldonian Theatre, Oxford (map)

Join Rob Biddulph, record-breaking, award-winning author and illustrator and creator of lockdown phenomenon, Draw With Rob, for stories, a singalong and lots of drawing.

In this family friendly event he will talk about the second book in his Peanut Jones trilogy, Peanut Jones and the Twelve Portals. Famous works of art are disappearing from all over the world. One moment they are there, the next, they have crumbled to dust. Peanut Jones and her friends suspect it might have something to do with wicked Mr White’s plot to wipe out colour, art and creativity. It’s time to head back to the Illustrated City and help the resistance fight back.

Biddulph’s Draw with Rob YouTube videos went viral during lockdown.  He broke the Guinness World Record for the largest ever online art class on 21 May 2020 when 45,611 households tuned in to his live #DrawWithRob YouTube class. Biddulph is a bestselling and multi-award-winning author and illustrator of titles including Blown Away, GRRRRR!, Odd Dog Out, Sunk, Kevin, Show and Tell, Dog Gone and the Dinosaur Juniors series. He was the official World Book Day Illustrator for 2019, 2020 and 2021.

For all the family from age 5+
