Edinburgh Book Festival - an inside scoop

The Edinburgh Book Festival publishes an illustrious programme of meet the author events - though for those of a more esoteric disposition the festival holds a bonus event not included in the programme.

Me.

Persist in the online search, or phone to make a booking, and it will be grand to see you at my 10.30am event on August 14th.

It will be a pretty unique event - I will be speaking about John Scott Haldane, giving my talk a special spin in honour of the festival's venue, Charlotte Square. Haldane was born in 17 Charlotte Square, grew up there, and was married at the Church next door. The Square is a wondrous story in itself, so it's a special tyreat to have the chance to bring Haldane back to life there.
