Primrose Hill Books

Readings

We are particularly pleased with readings we've arranged where authors introduce their work and themselves to our readers.  These cosy and informal gatherings have featured Diana Athill, P D James, Claire Tomalin, Doris Lessing, Nick Crane, Martin Amis, Jane Smiley, Simon Jenkins, Xandra Bingley, Ian McEwan, Marina Warner, Michael Frayn, Tracy Chevalier, Joan Bakewell and Selena Hastings.

Benefits

We have also arranged and participated in a variety of other community based events.  For instance, we organized a benefit for our local libraries with Margaret Atwood, set up literary benefit events for local churches, and helped raise funds for International PEN in conjunction with Umberto Eco.

More To Come

Although we had to reduce the number of readings we sponsor because of the arrival of our young family, we have not given up.  We are currently making plans for an autumn programme of events.

Check into this page from time to time to see what we are doing or subscribe to our email bulletin, The View From Primrose Hill, which provides early notice of our events.
