Returning for its 11th year, this well–loved festival offers a rich programme of events designed to delight literary enthusiast of all interests. DOMVS are sponsoring a talk by Gyles Brandreth: ‘Next year (2026) marks the centenary of the publication of Winnie-the-Pooh, one of the best-selling children’s books of all time. Best-selling biographer Gyles Brandreth knew the real Christopher Robin and his new book is both an intimate and revealing biography of A A Milne and a fascinating exploration of fathers and sons, children and their parents and the nature of childhood itself.’
