Cardiff Children's Literature Festival 2026 | Chris Mould

EVENT INFO...

In this fantastic event, Chris Mould will discuss how he illustrated, updated and adapted The War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells, an incredible sci-fi story that’s over 100 years old, into a new graphic novel. Join Chris as he share the designs, roughs and artwork from the book and does a live drawing for the audience.

Chris Mould has illustrated the gamut from picture books and young fiction. He illustrated Ted Hughes’ The Iron Man to much critical success and teamed up with Matt Haig for the bestselling A Boy Called Christmas. When he’s not drawing and writing, you’ll find him . . . actually, he’s never not drawing or writing.
