Hay festival: Patrick Ness, Philip Ardagh, Tanya Landman and John Fardell

Today, Michelle Pauli speaks to children's writer Patrick Ness about his teenage sci-fi trilogy Chaos Walking.

Philip Ardagh gives us his kids survival guide to the festival and reads from his book Grubtown Tales, while John Crace takes a slightly wryer look at the little darlings and their ever-anxious parents.

Claire Armitstead uncovers a mysterious murder on the festival site with adventure writers Tanya Landman and John Fardell plus Gillian Beer tells us about the books that got her hooked on reading.
