• The fifth North Cornwall Book Festival offers something for everyone from life-writing, to storytelling, from poetry to folksong, from narrative illustration to spectacular Cornish impressionism, from household names to the big names of the future. And we can’t wait to share it all with you.

As ever we’re urging you to make a day (and an evening!) of your visit, by laying on meals, drinks and evening performances for you to enjoy. This year we’re introducing bargain day tickets to encourage you further.

If you’ve enjoyed the festival before, you’ll need no luring back but do please pass the details on to friends and neighbours; however wonderful its authors, a book festival is nothing without a magical marquee bursting with readers.

SATURDAY 7TH OCTOBER10.00 - 1.00 Biography Workshop - Hermione LeeEvent 5: Stone Barn, Admission £20

• Literary biographer, Dame Hermione Lee will talk and ask questions about life-writing. What makes a good - and a bad - biography? What do you expect from a biography? Are there any rules about how a biography should

tell a life-story? What kind of ethical and moral questions do you think are involved in writing biography? And if you were having a biography written of you, what would you want it to say about you? www.hermionelee.com

2.00 - 5.00 Life-writing Workshop - Lynn KnightEvent 10: Stone Barn, Admission £20

• Lynn Knight’s latest book, The Button Box, tells the story of women in the twentieth century through the clothes they wore. Her life-writing workshop will show how using letters, photographs, vintage crockery and other

‘treasures’ can help to uncover the past and offer ways of telling larger stories. If you are interested in life writing and social history, or have family objects whose stories you would like to pass on, bring these treasures and she will help you explore ways of writing about them. www.lynnknight.co.uk.

SUNDAY 8TH OCTOBER10.00 - 1.00 Poetry Workshop - Pascale PetitEvent 16: Stone Barn, Admission £20

• How can you transform your life into a brand-new myth? In this inspiring workshop with poet, Pascale Petit, you’ll be encouraged to let your imagination fly, no holds barred. The emphasis will be to write as boldly,

as colourfully and as deeply as you dare! Fragments of myths, and a stream of surreal images, will be supplied to help spark poems as will some inspiring examples by myth-making poets. www.pascalepetit.co.uk.

2.00 - 5.00 You Think You Can’t Draw - Peter Skerrett Event 19: Stone Barn, Admission £20

• As children, we all draw before we can even write. However, as adults the majority of us declare that we can’t draw. This workshop, led by Peter Skerrett, Senior Lecturer in Drawing at Falmouth University’s School of Art,

challenges the presumption that the ability to draw is the ability to make an accurate visual representation. You will be introduced to a series of techniques to enable you to make a more accurate likeness of what you see, pay close attention to your subject and discover what else there is to reveal.

Event 7: Main Marquee, Admission £6

• Edward Ardizzone RA (1900-79) was a British artist who defined illustration for their generation, but it is for his illustrated children’s books, that he is best known. Art historian, Alan Powers has surveyed Ardizzone’s work and

drawn on private archives and the result is fascinating. Whether you grew up on Tim in Danger and Nurse Matilda or simply relish images of properly womanly women, this illustrated talk will be a delight.

1.00 - 2.00 Rose Hilton with Dudley Sutton

Event 8: Main Marquee, Admission £6

• One of the greatest women painters at work today, her glowing canvases are cherished in the Tate and other collections. Rose Hilton has had an extraordinary life, including a tempestuous marriage to the abstract artist, Roger Hilton and

1.00 - 2.00 Pascale Petit and Alyson Hallett Poetry Reading

Event 9: St Endellion Church, Admission £6

• Pascale Petit is a Forward Prize shortlisted poet, whose sensuous work, has been described by Jackie Kay as “fresh as paint”. Her latest collection is Mama Amazonica. www.pascalepetit.co.uk. Alyson has had her

Event 11: Main Marquee, Admission £6

4.00 - 5.00 James Naughtie

Event 12: Main Marquee, Admission £6

• Known to fans of the Radio 4 Book Club and the Today Programme, James (Jim), a famously amusing speaker, joins us to introduce his latest period spy thriller, Paris Spring. Amid the student uprising of 1968, his hero finds himself entangled

in affairs that threaten his closest and most complicated relationship, with his younger brother… “Fans of John le Carré and Len Deighton will welcome Naughtie’s superior spy thriller.” (Publisher’s Weekly)

5.30 - 6.30 Maggie O’Farrell

Event 13: Main Marquee, Admission £6

• After a string of superb novels, from After You’d Gone to the Costa-shortlisted This Must Be The Place, Maggie O’Farrell has delivered not another novel but a startlingly frank memoir, I Am I Am I Am. Written to explain herself to

her daughter, it maps out the many ways she has so nearly died. Maggie will be in conversation with the novelist Patrick Gale. www.maggieofarrell.com.

12.00 - 1.00 Hermione Lee

Event 17: Main Marquee, Admission £6

• Dame Professor Hermione Lee has made literary biography her own, combining vividly researched life stories with penetrating analysis of the works that made her subjects great. She’ll be talking with novelist, Patrick Gale about her

1.30 - 2.30 Sarah Winman

Event 18: Main Marquee, Admission £6

• Following her runaway bestseller, When God Was a Rabbit, Sarah Winman returns to talk with Radio 4’s Jim Naughtie about her haunting latest, Tin Man. Almost unbearably moving, it’s the story of a great, barely acknowledged love, a marriage and a

3.00 - 4.00 Lynn Knight

Event 20: Main Marquee, Admission £6

• Lynn Knight’s latest book, The Button Box, tells the story of women in the twentieth century through the clothes they wore. Using family buttons as her starting point, she looks at women at home and in work, taking in suffragettes, bachelor

4.30 - 5.30 Yasmin Alibhai Brown

Event 21: Main Marquee, Admission £6

• In her fascinating exercise in cultural history, Exotic England, Orwell Award-winning journalist and polemicist, Yasmin Alibhai-Brown traces the long history of the boundless curiosity among the English the world beyond their shoreline. She traces

the golden thread of otherness through five centuries of English history to reveal how it has created a truly diverse society. But what does “Englishness” mean today? www.alibhai-brown.com.

6.00 - 7.00 Michael Morpurgo

Event 22: St Endellion Church, Admission £6

Dorothy’s fearless little dog. Michael says: “The Wizard of Oz is a truly wonderful and magical tale: funny, frightening and strange but I always felt that there was one character who had little part to play in the story. Why not tell the story again, but through Toto’s eyes!” www.michaelmorpurgo.com

Waterfront• Waterfront, Polzeath, has always been the place to go if you want a relaxed dining experience and delicious food with spectacular views of Polzeath beach. However, they have upped their game yet again with the opening of the Roof Top Terrace, situated above the main restaurant. With its mouth-watering cocktail menu, which uses herbs from its very own garden, hearty sharing platters, and even better beach views, the Roof Terrace is a mini oasis at the heart of Polzeath.
