Set amidst the beauty and wonder of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Write On Kew is a hub literary festival unlike any other. With over 80 events across all genres, spread across five days and hosting some of the best authors around including Margaret Atwood, Louis de Bernières, A S Byatt and Bill Bryson, this is your chance to learn, discuss and reflect with some of the brightest minds going. This time, join actress and comedian Mel Giedroyc; the author of How Novels Work, John Mullan; and novelist and journalist Rachel Johnson in the glorious surroundings of the Gardens as they recommend the books that they consider a perfect blend of nourishment, spice and guilty pleasure. Talking about books – it's almost as good as reading them. Ticket includes entry into the Gardens.
