Following the success of last year’s inaugural festival, the Daunt Books Festival returns on Thursday 19th and Friday 20th March 2015. The festival is two days of celebration and inspiration for writers and readers, illustrating their belief that a bookshop is not just a place to buy books, but a means of creating a community – a unique space for booklovers to come together.  

Daunt Books Festival is delighted to be offering FREE after-school events for children and teenagers, starring Michael Rosen and Robert Muchamore. Michael will talk to our own Julia Eccleshare about his fondness for Emil and the Detectives by Erich Kastner along with The Wicked Tricks of Till Owlyglass, his own retelling of one of his favourite German children’s books. Robert (author of the Cherub series) talks to Philip Womack in the festival’s first young adult event. His latest book Rock War is the first of an exciting new quartet of books about three teenagers seeking success in the music world.

“A splendid venture by one of the finest bookshops in the country.” Colin Thubron
