Tuesday 7 September, 2021

On the eve of the 2021 Festival at the Boston Room of the George IV, Torin Douglas and Jo James showcased the wealth of local talent that Chiswick has to offer, with thanks to James Barber, manager of Waterstones Chiswick. Twenty authors each had just two minutes to speak about their book, making this a fast-paced, fun and fascinating evening.
