Ally Sherrick, the award-winning Farnham-based author of children’s historical adventures, hosted a launch event at Farnham Waterstones on the evening of March 27 to celebrate the launch of her latest book 'Rebel Heart'. During the event, Ally presented prizes to some pupils from William Cobbett School in Farnham for their entries into a special creative writing competition she organised with a member of staff there challenging them to write a story set at Farnham Castle during an English Civil War siege. English Civil War re-enactors from Alton's Lord Hoptons Regiment also attended in full regalia.
