Art and Culture

Literature festivals transform the solitary pleasures of reading into a communal event. They allow you to see favourite authors in the flesh, listen to unique voices, and actually interact with people who have previously only had a cerebral existence.

Encompassing novels, biographies, specialist fiction (such as crime), and poetry, literature festivals are stimulating events. There are live debates, question and answer sessions, and author readings. There is a great deal of book-related conversation.

Enthusiasm is infectious and books are in plentiful supply. Recommended for bookworms everywhere...
