THE WINTER GHOSTS
QUARTERHOUSE
The Winter Ghosts is a thrilling, haunting and poignant story of grief and joy, of lives ruined by war, then transformed by courage and redeemed by love. This illustrated novella is the gripping new adventure from the No.1 bestselling author of Labyrinth and Sepulchre, Kate Mosse, who we are proud to having introducing her new work at the festival.

JULIAN BAGGINI
SHOULD YOU JUDGE THIS BOOK BY ITS COVER
QUARTERHOUSE
Another rapid-fire selection of short, stimulating and entertaining capsules of philosophy from the master of the genre. This time Julian Baggini applies his philosophical scalpel to famous sayings, proverbs and pieces of homespun wisdom. Should you really do as the Romans do when in Rome and practice what you preach? Is the grass always in fact greener on the other side of the fence, and is there ever smoke without fire? Is beauty always in the eye of the beholder and is it actually better to be safe than sorry? Baggini's approach is as witty and deeply thought provoking as ever.

ANTHONY SLINN LECTURE
DALI EXPLAINED
THE GRAND
Salvador Dali (1904-1989) is frequently quoted as having said of himself 'The difference between me and a madman is that I am not mad'. No, but Dali's surreal and disturbing images require some explanation. Anthony Slinn, artist, art teacher and lecturer, reveals all in his own inimitable way.
