Authors lined up to speak at 2012 Cowbridge Book Festival ON Friday, May 4, photographer and writer Phil Cope will make the first book presentation of the Cowbridge Book Festival 2012. Phil will also open the festival photographic exhibition by two well-known local photographers Mike Davies and Dave Allen, which will exhibit a varied choice of photographs in the Old Hall Gallery throughout May. On May 11, prepare for some very different journeys as John Harrison talks about his book Antartica: Forgotten Footprints. Still on a "chilly theme", former BBC Wales arts and media correspondent Jon Gower will present his thrilling new collection of short stories Too Cold for Snow, a fabulous and fascinating collection of stories that range from the Taigu region of Russia to the depths of despair. After Jon, take a journey from Paris to Bangor as Bill Rees recounts the trials, joys and tribulations of selling second hand books and the thrill of finding valuable first editions. John a guide and lecturer on adventure cruise ships, will transport us to the Antartic Peninsular, South Shetland Islands and the Weddell Sea – the most visited places in Antartica. To round off this day of journeys, the acclaimed poet Roger Garfitt will present his wonderfully written memoir The Horseman's Word.
