Writing History with Jane Tolerton, Neil Frances and more

According to L.P. Hartley, “the past is a foreign country: they do things differently there.”

Join eminent historians, Jock Phillips, Jane Tolerton and Neil Frances, as they reveal what fascinates them about the past and explore the craft of the historical writer. If you are a lover of history and historical writing, this is a session not to be missed.

This is an event involved in the Featherston Booktown Festival on Friday 10th, Saturday 11th & Sunday 12th May celebrating everything to do with books, writers and reading. The three-day programme includes writing workshops; poetry readings; talks by leading authors and illustrators; and a book fair including stalls with rare and second-hand books. There are also events specifically for children.
