CAN IT BE SIXTEEN YEARS SINCE HILARY MANTEL PAID US A VISIT IN BILLERICAY

Tonight on our regular BBC 4 radio programme Front Row and mention, yet again, of books, films and authors.  The work of Hilary Mantel was discussed, particularly her best-selling book Wolf Hall which our Billericay BookTalk group also coincidentally discussed today. Here is Hilary in 2009 at Billericay where we shared a lovely evening talking books, reading and writing, and of course, the Essex Book Festival. Looking forward to this year's events during the summer. Will keep you posted.
