Journeys of Discoveryis our 2011 Festival theme and we’ll be celebrating fascinating journeys of all kinds, from the centenary of Scott’s race to the pole to inspirational modern adventurers and classic literary travels.

We’ll also be considering spiritual journeys and intellectual discoveries, charting great historic voyages and asking where the future might lead us, and even continuing our own journey as a Literature Festival with our expansion to Montpellier Gardens.

Join us on our adventure.

Sarah

My favourite literary journey … is Robert Louis Stevenson’s Travels with a Donkey in the Cévennes and I actually followed his route through Southern France for three weeks when I was ten, albeit without a donkey!

The ‘journeys’ event I’m really looking forward to is … our exploration of Edgelands, a luminous and poetic journey by Michael Symmonds Roberts and Paul Farley through Britain’s forgotten wastelands at the peripheries of our cities, revealing their hidden beauties and startling secrets.

My greatest journey … was when I travelled across southern India on my own. Being alone, I met some extraordinary women who welcomed me into their homes and gave me an amazing insight into the reality of life in India.

My favourite book to take on a journey … would be Waterlog by the late great Roger Deakin, who swam across Britain through river, lake, estuary and sea. This book is a bible for wild swimmers everywhere and will feature in our wild swimming event at the Festival.

Welcome

Sarah Smyth, Literature Festival Artistic Director

AdventureBen Fogle: television presenter, adventurer and writer Ben is one of our greatest modern travellers.

Top sport: Cricket, Olympics and horse racing (of course!)

Poetry Jo Shapcott: award­winning poetWe’re keeping poetry at the heart of the Festival and Jo’s a wonderful poet. Her recent collection, Of Mutability, won the most recent Costa Book of the Year with the judges commenting ‘if any poetry book could capture the spirit of life in 2011, this would be it’.

My greatest journey … has been my year in Latin America. I was 18, fresh out of school and had the time of my life.

The adventurer that inspires me … is Ernest Shackleton. His tale of hardship, endurance and perseverance is inspiring, moving and heroic.

The adventure I’d love to do … is climb Everest - I would have to get permission from my wife though!

I’m an accidental adventurer … because I never planned to do the things I do - they just sort of happened and evolved.

The thing I enjoyed most about my last visit to the Literature Festival … was being there with James Cracknell, my adventuring partner. We always enjoy recounting our tales together.

My favourite piece of adventure writing … is Thor Heyerdahl’s The Kon-Tiki - an incredible journey beautifully told.

Everyone should go on their own adventure … because it gives you the chance to #nd yourself.

Ben’s autobiography, The Accidental Adventurer, is released in September.

DIRECTOR’S PICKS…With over 500 events to choose from, where do you start? It isn’t easy, but Festival Artistic Director Sarah Smyth picks her ones not to miss.

Book It!Our action-packed programme for children and families is better than ever this year. Sing-along with Julia Donaldson and the Gru!alo, hear about Lauren Child’s fantastic new series, or join Michael Morpurgo as he discusses the phenomenon that is War Horse.

Party with your favourite characters including the porcine superstar Peppa Pig, or try something new in one of our hands-on workshops. We’ll see you there…

For a closer look…We’re heading back to the Edwardian age and not only looking at the literature and history of the time, but immersing ourselves in the dress, food, architecture and art as well.

From our food historian recreating the extravagance of the Edwardian dessert trolley, to our brilliant event on the su!ragettes and Penelope Keith on pioneering Edwardian women drivers, we’ll be diving head-#rst into a period of political turbulence and aristocratic glamour before the First World War shattered it forever.

To discover a hidden gem…Meet intrepid equestriennes Louella Hanbury-Tenison and Christina Dodwell as they join explorer Robin Hanbury-Tenison to share stories of their intrepid horseback adventures across the globe.

For a great night out…There’s so much Live Literature going on this year, with live poetry, cabaret and comedy.

We’re staging a fabulous burlesque evening featuring a French supper, burlesque dancing and even life drawing to bring to life the graphic novel of the life of Kiki de Montparnasse, Man Ray’s celebrated muse and 1920s Parisienne girl. It’s a real departure for us and not to be missed!

For a different point of view…We’re still reaping the whirlwind of the #nancial crisis; as cuts begin to bite come and hear some of the country’s top economic minds - including Alistair Darling, Will Hutton, Paul Mason and John Kay.

Cold Comfort FarmStella Gibbons

A classic of its kind and a dazzling period parody, Cold Comfort Farm stars the redoubtable Flora Poste, who has been expensively educated to do everything but earn her own living.

When she is orphaned at nineteen, she decides her only option is to go and live with her eccentric relatives the Starkadders and bring order to the chaos, with wonderfully comic results. There’s something nasty in the woodshed …

Gormenghast Mervyn Peake

A tour de force of gothic fantasy and one of the twentieth century’s most remarkable feats of imaginative writing, Gormenghast takes you to a new world.

Enter a vast crumbling castle with a gothic labyrinth of roofs and turrets, cloisters and corridors, stairwells and dungeons and discover a world primed to implode beneath the weight of centuries of intrigue, treachery, manipulation and murder.

The Sun King Nancy Mitford

Louis XIV was the most powerful king in Europe and deployed his charm and talents for spin and intrigue to hold his court and country within his absolute control.

Nancy Mitford, no stranger herself to the intricate world of aristocratic society, describes the daily life of The Sun King’s splendid Versailles court in sumptuous detail, bringing the distant past to vibrant life.

Jane Eyre Charlotte Brontë

Charlotte Brontë’s classic commentary on class, morality, love and independence follows heroine Jane Eyre through her life as an orphaned school girl to the secretive world of Thorn#eld Hall.

A novel of intense power and intrigue, Jane Eyre dazzled and shocked readers with its passionate depiction of a woman’s search for equality and freedom and with numerous #lm and TV adaptations, still has the power to fascinate.

‘QUESTION FROM MAN IN THE AUDIENCE:

“WHAT’S JANE AUSTEN GOT TO INTEREST MEN?” REPLY:

“BREECHES.”’ANNE, PENZANCE

Book #rst and save 10% with Membership

Joseph Heller, author of this year’s acclaimed title, Catch-22, made three Festival appearances at Cheltenham; in 1962, soon after the book’s release, in 1993 and just two months before his death in 1999.

Join us as we enter the surreal world of Yossarian, a World War II bombardier who is frantic and furious because thousands of people he has never even met keep trying to kill him.

Reading Joseph Heller’s classic satire is nothing less than a rite of passage, and is a hilarious and tragic satire on military madness and the tale of one man’s e!orts to survive it.

See brochure for full details

Take partWhether you’re new to the book or simply want to revisit it, we’d love you to take part in this year’s Bonne Maman Big Read and join our book groups throughout the Festival, including our special Members’ group with afternoon tea. See brochure for details.
