This morning the last seven tickets for Katie Adie were grabbed, which means we've sold out within a week, and we've just added another Very Hungry Caterpillar show due to demand, so over 60% of the available seats have already been booked over the four performances.
Other authors speaking include David Aaronovitch on the role of conspiracy theories in modern history; historical novelist Barbara Ewing; Lawrence Goldman, editor of the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography; crime crime writers Sophie Hannah and Peter Robinson in a Lichfield Library double bill; Tobias Hill discussing his latest novel The Hidden; historian Robert Hutchinson on the Dukes of Norfolk; Andrew Lambert on Captain John Franklin's doomed expedition (perfect, I think, for a city that honours doomed captains); Stephen Lyttelton discusses collating his father's last writings, David Charles Manners speaks about the impact of India on his life, David Nokes speaks his new biography of Samuel Johnson as a nod to the tercentenary, mathematician Ian Stewart, explorer Sara Wheeler on the arctic, Frances Wilson on Dorothy Wordsworth; and Matthew Yeo on the history of the book.
We are also holding an Open Mic event for local authors to come and share their writings.
Tickets will probably go on sale on Tuesday, but keep an eye on the festival website to be certain.
