Festival time again

UNABLE to wait an entire year for the latest fix of literature-based glamour and glitz? Then Cheltenham Festival of Literature's fourth annual Spring Weekend is for you.

Tom Sharpe and Booker Prize-winning Yann Martell will be discussing their novels, alongside historians Margaret Macmillan and Alison Weir. Terry Jones will also be putting in an appearance.

For those requiring Cheltenham's usual dose of political glamour (and the chance to rub shoulders with their security guards), Queen Noor of Jordan will also be speaking about her memoirs.

Younger readers will no doubt be enchanted by the two-day Book It! programme, offering a cornucopia of events to entertain the young.

Old favourites such as Peter Rabbit, and the Mr Men will be putting in an appearance, alongside such acclaimed children's authors as Beverley Naidoo, Nick Butterworth and Blue Peter Award-winning writer Nicky Singer.

There's also the ever-popular Voices Off programme, with late-night performance poetry, music and Chelt'n'Slam! - hosted as ever by the exuberant Marcus Moore and Sara-Jane Arbury.

The Cheltenham Literature Festival Spring Weekend takes place between April 4 and April 6.
