Join The Cambridge News Book Club today!
To celebrate World Book Day, the Cambridge News has teamed up with Heffers to launch The Cambridge News Book Club – a fantastic new service designed to save you money on the best new fiction and non-fiction titles.
From AA Milne to EM Forster, Lord Byron to Lord Archer, Midnight’s Children to Tom’s Midnight Garden, few cities can boast a literary heritage to rival Cambridge.
Douglas Adams was born and raised in Cambridge; Nick Hornby spent time as an English teacher at Parkside College; JG Ballard was a pupil at The Leys School; Philippa Pearce’s Tom’s Midnight Garden was heavily influenced by memories of her childhood in Great Shelford; Ted Hughes and Sylvia Plath spent the happiest days of their stormy marriage at their home in Eltisley Avenue, Cambridge; former cookbook editor Susanna Clarke – who caused a stir in publishing circles with her 2004 debut Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell – still lives in the city, as does Ali Smith, whose novel The Accidental won the 2005 Whitbread Prize.
With the legacy of so many great writers, past and present, to inspire us, and with World Book Day celebrations taking place across the globe, what better time and place to launch the new Cambridge News Book Club?
Everyday in the News, we’ll be reviewing the latest titles hitting bookshelves, including two personally selected by Heffers bookstore in Cambridge. And the really exciting news? You can save 25% on the cost of the two selected titles, building to a total of eight discounted titles across each month.
