December 14, 2025

BESTSELLING author Julia Donaldson has praised the Queen for championing children’s reading.

- BY JULIA KUTTNER

The Gruffalo creator, who was the Children’s Laureate in 2011, also said Dame Judi Dench would be her dream narrator.

Julia, 77, said: “I was at Clarence House celebrating the 100th anniversary of the National Literacy Trust.

“I think Camilla’s great - she’s always been very keen on children, well not just children’s books but reading generally.”
