SUMMARY:An Evening with Joanne Harris
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to be joined by the extraordinarily talented Joanne Harris – bestselling author of Chocolat – as we celebrate the publication of her new novel of love\, loss\, mystery and dementia. \n\n\n\nA FARSLEY LIT FEST 2026 EVENT \n\n\n\nAs well as hearing about Joanne’s new\, chilling winter ghost story\, we’ll discover the secrets behind all her writing and delve into the legendary world of Chocolat\, her 1999 novel which was adapted into an Oscar-nominated film\, starring Juliette Binoche. \n\n\n\nThe event will include a book signing. Doors at 7pm. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTHE BOOK \n\n\n\nOut on the moor\, in the snow\, a house stands beneath a pylon. It is a house full of memories\, and full of old things. And\, in the dark\, when the pylon sings in the wind\, it is a house full of ghosts and fading memories… \n\n\n\nThe house\, Kirkhill\, has a new occupant – just moved in\, fresh from a bitter divorce and looking for a fresh start. The moor is the perfect place for it: isolated\, beautiful in the changing seasons\, peaceful\, and with just enough of the previous owners belongings that it’s a perfectly self-contained and cosy home. \n\n\n\nOnly as the nights start to draw in\, and the weather takes a turn\, so does the house. The cosy isolation becomes menacing\, animals begin acting strangely\, and it seems someone could be watching the house…and the diaries of the previous owners begin to reveal a terrible tragedy which befell Kirkhill – one which its new occupant may be unable to escape… \n\n\n\nTHE AUTHOR \n\n\n\nJoanne Harris (OBE\, FRSL) is the author of twenty novels\, three cookbooks\, many short stories and even the libretti for two short operas! \n\n\n\nShe was born in Barnsley\, to a French mother and English father\, and her books which she writes from a shed in her garden in a little wood in Yorkshire\, are now published in over 50 countries.  \n\n\n\nJoanne is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature\, an honorary Fellow of St Catharine’s College\, Cambridge\, was Chair of the Society of Authors between 2020 and 2024\, and in 2022 was awarded an OBE by the Queen.

SUMMARY:An Evening with David Lascelles: Earl of Harewood
DESCRIPTION:Prepare for the astonishing true story of the high-profile hostages who survived Colditz. \n\n\n\nWe are delighted to welcome David Lascelles to The Old Woollen to tell us about his gripping\, new book\, Out of Colditz; the true story of the Prominente of the British establishment\, held at Colditz Castle\, and the extraordinary decision of an SS officer to disobey orders and spare their lives. \n\n\n\nA FARSLEY LIT FEST 2026 EVENT \n\n\n\nWe are looking forward to hearing from this prominent Leeds figure and delving into his book\, his life and his experiences. Out of Colditz offers a never-before-told perspective on the British experience at Colditz – one of the most infamous sites in Nazi Germany. \n\n\n\nThe event will include a book signing. Doors at 7pm. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout David Lascelles \n\n\n\nDavid\, first cousin once removed of Queen Elizabeth II\, and Honorary President of Leeds United is known as the owner of Harwood House and is a founder member of the campaign group Heirs of Slavery. Lascelles has been credited for his openness in confronting his family’s past\, moving away from concealment and discussing the estate’s historical ties to the transatlantic slave trade honestly. \n\n\n\nDavid is also a BAFTA-winning film and television producer. Inspector Morse won both a BAFTA and a Royal Television Society award for Best Drama Series under his watch. His cinema credits include The Wedding Gift (with Julie Walters and Jim Broadbent)\, The Wisdom of Crocodiles (with Jude Law) and the film Shakespeare’s Richard III starring Ian McKellen. \n\n\n\nAbout the Book \n\n\n\n‘A gripping\, unsettling journey into the strange moral fog of the war’s last days -and the shadows we inherit long after.’ – Iain MacGregor\, author of The Lighthouse of Stalingrad \n\n\n\nThe grandson of a King. The son of the Viceroy of India. Churchill’s nephew. Held captive at the notorious Colditz prisoner of war camp\, they were the Prominente of the British establishment\, and pawns in the hands of Nazi leaders. \n\n\n\nAs a German defeat loomed\, the SS head of the POW camps Gottlob Berger made a pivotal decision: he would disobey direct orders and spare their lives. \n\n\n\n‘Please remember what I have done for you when the war ends\,’ he asked. This Nazi overseer\, who would later be convicted of war crimes\, held their future in his hands. \n\n\n\nEighty years later\, David Lascelles – the son of George\, Earl of Harewood\, who would never have been born if his father had been executed – traces the Prominentes’ extraordinary journey and wonders who Gottlob Berger was and what motivated his fateful decision: compassion? Remorse? Or self-interest?
