Ampthill Literary Festival Yearbook 2015

This 2015 Yearbook is an eclectic collection of fiction and nonfiction writing by young and old. There is a arresting fiction by novelists — Lisa Williamson and Bobbie Darbyshire; thought-provoking science writing by John Emsley; and fascinating travel writing by Wendy Pollard and Rob Baker encompassing Africa and Australia. As well as all that, there is a remarkable collection of poems, fiction and nonfiction by the winners of the 2015 Young Persons Writing Competition. This collection defies categorization — it truly contains something for everyone. It is rather a book to be dipped into, and thought about, instead of reading it from cover to cover in one sitting.
