We are huge fans of the Guardian Hay Festival which is on from 21st May to 1st June. (See www.hayfestival.com)
So last year, we loaded up our sweets and trundled off to Hay-on-Wye to tempt all those book lovers with our treats. Our suspicions about the combination of caramel and a good book going perfectly together was right (we even had to go and get some replenishments half way through the week!)
It was also a great opportunity to shout about the good work that Book Aid International are doing and gain them some new supporters.

So we felt it made sense to invite Peter Florence to choose this month's book.
Peter Florence is the son of the founder of the famous Guardian Hay Festival, held in Hay-on-Wye each May. He describes the initial idea in the following article - "In August 1987, a bunch of us got together around my mother’s kitchen table. My father had the idea of inviting friends and some people he really admired up for the weekend to talk, play and hang out.

He’d run the bilingual touring theatre company Theatr Yr Ymylon from Cardiff in the 1970s, and he and I had tripped around the world for the British Council with a Wilfred Owen show in the ’80s.

Wherever we’d toured, we’d loved the buzz of festivals – the energy and community of audiences celebrating together. And we both thought it would be good to do something together, at home in Hay."
