Meet award-winning Chocolat author Joanne Harris in the intimate surroundings of the Delegates Room. There are only 23 places for this event at which Harris will discuss her latest collection of imaginative short stories A Cat, a Hat, and a Piece of String. They feature a house where it is Christmas all year, a ghost who lives on a Twitter timeline, a baby created with sugar, spice and lashings of cake, a girl in the Congo who rides rapids for a crust of bread, and Norse gods battling in Manhattan.

Harris is author of 13 novels including Chocolat, which was made into an Oscar-nominated film starring Juliette Binoche and Johnny Depp, Blackberry Wine, and Five Quarters of the Orange. Her books have been published in more than 40 countries and have won a number of British and international awards.
