The next book festival will be held between 15 and 31 August 2009. 7 extraordinary days, 750 events, 800 authors, over 40 different countries represented. Program details are not available until June so I have no idea who the 800 authors will be. They probably don’t know either.
In a bid to get the whole of Edinburgh reading the same book at the same time, Edinburgh UNESCO City of Literature have launched their third One Book - One Edinburgh citywide reading campaign. The star of the show is Edinburgh-born Arthur Conan Doyle's tale of dinosaurs and exploration, The Lost World - chosen specially to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Sir Arthur's birth.
What I learned that was special:
• The statue in the middle of the Charlotte Square Gardens is of Prince Albert.
