BURNHAM MARKET BOOK FESTIVAL
1st, 2nd and 3rd October.
The second book festival organised by White House book shop in Burnham Market, will be held in the Moroccan Garden over the weekend of 1st, 2nd and 3rd October.
The brainchild of Catherine Bennett an ex-Lawyer who switched career to persue her dream of opening and bookshop for `real book lovers-and now owns White House Books , and Rosalind English who writes weighty legal tomes -but who also loves great British literature, the 2009 Festival was a run-away success and so now will become an annual highlight.
This autumn a glittering array of renowned authors will be speaking, covering highly topical subjects as diverse as Antarctic exploration, military strategy in Afghanistan, piracy, and war-time thrift in the kitchen, alongside Christianity and psychological thriller writing, there is something for everyone.
Best selling authors who are joining us include Simon Jenkins, Sara Wheeler, Nicci French, General Sir Richard Dannatt, Ben Macintyre and Jane Fearnley Whittingstall. Interviewers include Erica Wagner, literary editor of The Times, and Francine Stock, radio and TV presenter.
