Best yet is a very dangerous phrase - a rod made for backs. What do we say next year? But never mind! It is true. You have opened the programme of the 4th Lennoxlove Book Fesval, undoubtedly the best yet. As the pipes and drums of Loreo School skirl into the night air, we begin with another fanfare - Michael Morpurgo and J.K. Rowling.

Many in our community are facing tough mes. We count ourselves fortunate, therefore, to be able to connue our support for the Lennoxlove Book Fesval. Good books serve not merely to divert, but to provide a mental haven where red spirits can come for refreshment at mes like this. Presumably that is why those who visit our oces here in Haddington, and other friends, so oen declare their appreciaon of the rm’s involvement in this Fesval and in the cultural base of our own community.

FESTIVAL MARQUEE | 4.30PM | £13, £11 (C) In Leaving Alexandria: A Memoir of Faith and Doubt , Richard Holloway recounts a remarkable life. Leaving home in Alexandria in the Vale of Leven at the age of 14, he began training for the priesthood but his faith was increasingly eroded by crisis. Wonderfully well reviewed, this is also an enquiry as well as a memoir; a journey without the certainty of a desnaon; a piece of astonishingly beauful wring.

HAMILTON MARQUEE | 4.45PM | £9, £7 (C) As part of our season of Second World War histories, Double Cross is the amazing, true story of the D-Day spies and a web of decepon which convinced the Nazis that the invasion of Europe would come through Calais and Norway and not the Normandy beaches. The cast of real-life characters assembled by Ben Macintyre’s brilliant researches is dazzling, from a bisexual Peruvian playgirl, a Serbian seducer to a hysterica hystericall Frenchwoman whose love for her pet dog almost wrecked the enre decepon. A wonderful piece of storytelling.

HAMILTON MARQUEE | 6.15PM | £9, £7 (C) Winter Games is a brilliantly conceived and highly original historical novel. It moves between 1930s Germany and London in 2006 as Francie Fitzsimon tries to discover what happened to her grandmother. Caught up in the gathering storm of the Third Reich and the approach of war, it is a story of secrets and a tale of betrayal.. Rachel, editor of The Lady and author of the betrayal sarical novels Nong Hell and Shire Hell , is a superb journalist and this this wonderfully wrought wrought story is her best work yet. Rachel joins us to talk about her wring and eding life.

Many of the family acvies at the Fesval don’t cost a penny. Draw, colour and create, with our free acvity sheets, or just relax in the gardens. Listen to a story at our Storyme events or sing-along at the Bookbug Rhyme Sessions. Learn a few circus tricks with performers Oli and Co and watch out for roving comedy cartoonists The Please Squad. Our bookshop, café bar and outdoor spaces are open to the public for the whole weekend. Come and soak up the atmosphere!

Where’s Wally? celebrates his 25th birthday this year. Wow! Look out for him as he wanders around the garden at Lennoxlove. Say hello, but remember – Wally doesn’t speak, so he’ll just smile and wave! Have a go at our Wally – spong compeon. Join in the fun by searching for clues throughout the garden. In each locaon he’s got a leer that together forms a word or phrase. There’s lots of prizes and four extra special Where’s Wally? goody bags to be won over the weekend. Pick up your entry form at the bookshop. We also have Where’s Wally? acvity sheets for you to take home too!
