Since our programme leaflet went to press, we have added three inspiring authors to our LitFest line-up.

One-time spy and animal rights crusader Stanley Johnson - father of London Mayor Boris – will be discussing his latest memoir, Stanley, I Resume.

International banker and Vladimir Putin's ‘No. 1 enemy’ Bill Browder will be in conversation with former UK ambassador to Moscow, Sir Rodric Braithwaite, about his dramatic new book, Red Notice.

And we’re delighted that Gill Hornby has agreed to discuss her new novel All Together Now, about a community choir (in place of Tessa Dunlop, who is now unable to appear).
