Julia Donaldson Support

Julia Donaldson, Shelley Memorial Project supporter

We are delighted to announce that Julia Donaldson is the latest writer to offer her endorsement to the Shelley Memorial Project. Julia is best known for her distinctive rhyming stories for children, including The Gruffalo, Room on the Broom and Stick Man. Speaking in November 2021, she said:

"As a writer and resident of Sussex, I am very happy to support the proposal to commemorate the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley with a permanent, public artwork in Horsham. It is right that we should recognise such a great poet, particularly in the place associated with his family and early life, where the beauty of our county was to inspire his work. I fully support the project and wish the project group the best of luck with the fund raising campaign that will deliver a fantastic memorial to Shelley."
