Between the 17th and 19th of May, Franschhoek Literary Festival has announced that the bestselling Robodog author David Walliams will be in attendance at the annual festival of words, and that he’ll be taking to the stage to share his stories with South African audiences.
Walliams released his first novel in 2008, named The Boy in the Dress, and then shot to literary stardom publishing over 40 titles and selling over 56 million copies worldwide. The author’s most recent releases – namely The Blunders and The World’s Worst Monsters have already landed in the top 20 of bestselling children’s literature for 2024, continuing the author’s streak of topping the charts.
