Tidelines Book Festival Presents Michael Pedersen - to Muckle Flugga & the Soppy Shores Beyond

Join Edinburgh Makar/Poet Laureate Michael Pedersen on a waltz through his fiction (Muckle Flugga), non-fiction (Boy Friends), and poetry (The Cat Prince). All three books were shortlisted for the Saltire Scottish Book Awards, attracting a range of other plaudits (Sunday Times Critics Choice, a Books Are My Bag Readers Award) and praise from voices as varied as Irvine Welsh, Bernardine Evaristo, and Stephen Fry. Pedersen will be in-conversation with broadcasting wonder Nicola Meighan.Chair Nicola Meighan
