The ILFD podcast is back! On Monday 20 November, we celebrated World Children's Day, so today we're listening back to an event with one of our favourite children's authors — Eoin Colfer. From the 2023 edition of the festival.

Whether he’s cloud gazing or saving the world, author Eoin Colfer has so many stories up his sleeve, it’s a wonder they don’t all fall out! Expect stellar storytelling and endless jokes as we get inside the mind of the mastermind behind the criminal escapades of Artemis Fowl, the heartwarming story of Starr in Little Big Sister, and so much more.

Eoin Colfer is a Wexford-born writer. He published his first book, Benny and Omar in 1998, and hasn’t stopped since! His now infamous Artemis Fowl series continues apace and he loves collaborating with artists and illustrators on picture books and graphic novels. He was Ireland’s Children’s Laureate between 2014 and 2016, and still wears the medal, even in the bath.
