Get between the covers with some of the brightest literary stars past and present.
In this hyper-digital age, there's something a bit special about the most medium analogue of all. Literary tastes may have changed over the years, but that cool touch of paper, that light swish as each page curves over is as satisfying as ever. But then, the chances are you're reading this in a public library, so you won't need us to tell you about the wonder of books.
The videos collected here celebrate the joys of reading and the agonies of writing, and highlight how literary tastes have changed (or not) over the years. You'll find some of the giants of the literary scene discussing their work, their creative process and their influences. You'll find books of all kinds - fiction, non-fiction, for readers young, old and anything in between - explored, examined, discussed and reviewed. So why not, to borrow a phrase, curl up with a good video?
