It's that time of year when you start filling in your new diary so here are some useful dates for bibliophiles.
The first literary event of the 2014 season is also the first Purbeck Literary Festival which will take place between February 17 and March 2 at Purbeck in Dorset. It will feature romantic novelist Katie Fforde, Andrew Lane, the author of Young Sherlock Holmes and local writer Tricia Walker.
Designed with me in mind (social anthropologist/political scientist amongst other things) is the LSE Space for Thought Literary Festival Reflections 2014 which will explore the distinctive qualities social science and literature bring to our understanding of the world around us and our place within it. The festival will focus on reflections on war and peace, embracing the centenary of WW1 using language and metaphor as well as exploring the contemporary world as it appears to a new generation. This festival runs from 25 February to 1 March 2014 at the London School of Economics and Political Science, Houghton Street, London WC2A 2AE.
One of the UK's most beautiful cities and one I never mind visiting will host the York Literary Festival, the seventh to date, which will include author events, storytellings, theatre and cinema plus a guided tour of York's sites of literary merit. As a star turn poet Roger McGough, host of BBC Radio's poetry please, is booked to appear on 28th March. The Festival will run from 20th to 24th March 2014 in the lovely city of York.
Not far away Huddersfield will be hosting its own literary festival between March 6th and March 16th 2014 so plenty to enjoy.
