Bodyguard author wows with literature and self defence

March 6, 2017

Chris Bradford, the world renowned author of the Bodyguard series of books, exploded onto the Blake Theatre stage this Monday morning as he ushered our librarian, Mrs Anderton, to safety under a hail of bullets. Of course, thankfully, no-one was in danger, but this explosive opening to Chris’ high tempo, interactive talk, had the audience engrossed from the outset as he talked about his Bodyguard series of books as well as his latest works; the Young Samurai series. Students from several schools in the area, including our own Form I and II pupils thoroughly enjoyed the hands on demonstrations about body-guarding and the explanations of how Chris has brought this world to life in his books.
