Meet the Author of The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas: John Boyne

All Ages

Bruno slowed down when he saw the dot that became a speck that became a blob that became a figure that became a boy. Although there was a fence separating them, he knew that you could never be too careful with strangers, and it was always best to approach them with caution. ‘Hello,’ said Bruno. ‘Hello,’ said the boy.

Bestselling author John Boyne, known for The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas, will be the headlining international guest of the 2022 Malta Book Festival. A performance presenting excerpts from the bestselling novel featuring John Boyne himself will give his younger readers an opportunity to meet the author.
