Sadly, although the War and Peace Revival is going ahead in Kent this year, the decision has been taken not to have the Authors Pavilion. This is a great shame as the authors have been at the show for decades. I remember years ago being a 'book signer' as authors were called then. When I was asked to take over running the new-look Authors Pavilion, authors were invited to give talks and interviews, in addition to merely signing their works. The problems caused by Covid and the rising cost of just about everything have led to a revised version of the show for 2022. Fingers crossed, I will be able to bring the authors back to War and Peace in the future.
This snap is from 2018, when I interviewed authors Liz Coward and William Earl for their book 'Blood and Bandages'. WW2 veteran William was 103 at the time!
