This is the fifth annual festival, which each year has drawn increasingly larger crowds to see and hear favorite authors and to take part in other activities that recognize the importance of books and reading. Join the fun with 80 authors, poets and illustrators who will speak and sign books. This year's Festival includes National Book Award winners E.L. Doctorow and John Irving; best-selling author Sandra Brown; Rupert Holmes, the versatile Tony and Edgar award winner who also penned "The Pina Colada Song"; Tom Wolfe, whose most recent novel is "I Am Charlotte Simmons"; designer and television personality Chris Madden; eminent historian David McCullough, author of the recent "1776"; and young people's author Walter Dean Myers. |
