CHILDREN’S author Geraldine Durrant, who is also the Town Council’s PRO, spread some half-term happiness at the town library with a reading of her two books based on the adventures of feisty heroine Pirate Gran.

"I was delighted to be invited to take part in Pirate Pandemonium," said Geraldine, who took along her parrot. "I remember when my own children were small how grateful I was to the wonderful local library in California which used put on something different every day during the school holidays.

"East Grinstead’s librarians do a great job in encouraging children to come in and enjoy books, and it was lovely to meet all the children and parents who took part."
