Sebastian Faulks at the Corfu Literary Festival; Tom Holland and Peter Frankopan tonight

A new day dawns This morning it's a cloudless sky. The Corfu Literary Festival is proving to be a huge success, thanks to the amazing efforts of Annabelle and Nikos Louvros.

Sebastian Faulks was brilliant, in conversation with Alex Preston at the Reading Society last night. Sebastian also treated the audience to a reading of an extract from the beginning of his new novel, a work in progress.
