About David
As you’re here, taking a peek into The World of David Walliams, chances are you already know what a brilliant author he is. In fact we’re willing to bet that he might even have written one of your most favourite books ever. But did you know that he’s the biggest selling children’s author to have started writing since the year 2000? Not only that, you can also read his books in over fifty-four languages, and he’s sold over fifty million copies worldwide! That’s a whole lot of kids, just like you, laughing their pants off around the world.
But there’s even more. You can watch Grandpa's Great Escape, Mr Stink, Gangsta Granny and The Boy in the Dress on DVD. And have you listened to all of the books on audio too - hilariously read by David Walliams himself! And not forgetting that Ratburger, Demon Dentist and Awful Auntie have all won the National Book Awards Children’s Book of the Year. Not only that, but The Ice Monster won ‘Children’s Fiction Book of the Year for 2018’ at the British Book Awards! As if all that wasn’t enough, lots of bigwig reviewers have compared him to Mr Funny Books himself, Roald Dahl. Make sure you don’t miss David’s newest book… MEGA MONSTER!!
