Could literature have the power to heal us? Journalist Lucy Mangan follows up her 2018 memoir, Bookworm, with Bookish: a funny, poignant love letter to reading. Meanwhile, in The Haunted Wood, the Spectator’s literary editor Sam Leith looks back at children’s literature, considering the stories that have shaped generations. In an event that provides a testament to why books matter, the authors chat with Daniel Hahn about the power of reading on young lives.
