The Shell Chester Literature Festival is in its 21st year, and they have invited one of our authors, the fantastic Alastair Humphreys, to give a talk. As well as being the author of three books, Al is a talented speaker, with the President of the Royal Geographical Society saying, “with the possible exception of Sir David Attenborough, that was the best lecture, and the longest applause that I have heard in the past 15 years.”

Can of Worms and Eye Books are proud to support ACE Africa in their fight against HIV/AIDs in East Africa. Today ACE Africa are holding their Harambee to raise funds to support all their good works in Africa. The event is being hosted by Sir Trevor McDonald with entertainment from Lenny Henry.

We have donated hundreds of copies of Walking Away by Charlotte Metcalf for the event, (the foreword is coincidentally written by Lenny Henry and the book is a must read for anyone who cares about the human condition and in particular the plight of Africans). To further support the work of ACE Africa we are now donating £1 per book sold through this special link on our website.
