Funke, Donaldson, Riddell and Kerr at the Edinburgh festival
The Edinburgh International Book Festival brings writers, poets, thinkers, politicians, photographers and artists from around the world to debate, discuss, argue and inspire. Over 800 events take place in the wonderful setting of Charlotte Square Gardens in the historic heart of Edinburgh, the world’s first UNESCO City of Literature.
There’s a big bag of events for children this year: recommended are a rare appearance from Inkheart author Cornelia Funke (Aug 17), as well as Gruffalo writer Julia Donaldson (Aug 24, 29 and 30). Chris Riddell talks about the end of The Edge Chronicles (Aug 22), while Judith Kerr (The Tiger who Came to Tea) remembers her childhood fleeing from the Nazis (Aug 20). All at Charlotte Square Gardens (0845 373 5888).
