Kennington Free Literary Festival

UPDATE 07 May 2010
Two bloggers have since written about this event:
Kennington Book Fair and MG Harris
mostly books blog: Kennington Literary Festival 2010

It’s festival season and this year I’m doing a few events in the Oxfordshire/Midlands area, including the Eagle House Celebration of Children’s Literature Week and a Youth Libraries Group event in Solihull, but starting on Saturday April 24th with the Kennington Free Literary Festival – see article in The Oxford Times.

My event is at 2pm, will be introduced by the wonderful Bill Heine of BBC Oxford, and will feature an audio-visual presentation about the inspiration behind The Joshua Files…plus maybe even a reading of a chapter from the secret(ish) manuscript for Joshua 4, DARK PARALLEL.

Here’s the brochure for the Kennington Free Literary Festival. As well as my event for kids you can also see local authors Helen Peacocke, Colin Dexter (author of Inspector Morse), Helen Rappaport and others.

Best of all it is FREE for kids and FREE for adults who come along on the day. Unless you want to book, in which case there is a small booking fee.

If you live in Oxfordshire, check out this little one-day festival!

Donations and all proceeds go to the Kennington Library.
