Daphne in Althorp and Villette in Westfield

A couple of alerts for today, June 14:

From the Althorp Literary Festival, (Althorp, Northampton, UK) a new chance to see Justine Picardie talking about her book Daphne:

Saturday 14th June: 2.45pm-3.45pm

In an extraordinary novel, author and journalist Justine Picardie blurs fact with fiction and draws together some of the greatest literary families of the past 200 years. Daphne is based on a trove of letters that have been lying hidden in the archives of the Brontë Parsonage museum in Haworth. Possessed by her discovery of stolen manuscripts and forged signatures, Picardie unravels the intriguing tale of Daphne du Maurier’s obsession with the renegade Brontë brother, Branwell, and the shadow of his dark legacy.
