Hay Festival Report

And so it was that Leaf went to Hay, to there perform some readings. And the readings were enterprising and successful and all involved wore smiles. Everything bar public transport occurred without drama; the books were nicely-received and a great deal of interest was generated in and around the Literature in Wales tent.

Thanks must again go to our writers/readers, whose charisma and (obviously) super writing made the dates as enjoyable as they were.

Below are some pictures of the Thursday event and Leaf Books adventuring throughout the festival site.

So that was that. More pictures to follow I'm told. If anyone happened to find and read one the books we so elegantly hid throughout the festival trees, support struts, bushes, Guardian promo stands and so on - let us know what you thought. And we know at least most of you did because Matt sat next to one fellow having a good old look-through, while Sam, Ceci and Gav - who tactically decided they'd go different days to Matt - saw similar.
