Award-winning children's author Katherine Rundell says she fears young people in Britain "have less space in which to be a child".

Speaking to Sky News after her fantasy book Impossible Creatures was named 2023 Waterstones Book of the Year, the writer - who's been likened to literary titans such as JRR Tolkien and Philip Pullman - reflected on her own early years growing up overseas.
