Robin Walter ShaftesburyBookFestival Charles Foster 🇬🇷 Sadly, I wasn’t able to make the individual talk but found the panel discussion (where Charles Foster 🇬🇷 took part) really interesting, challenging and inspiring, from all four on the panel. And I’ve just bought Cry of the Wild, which I’ll be starting soon!

Robin Walter ShaftesburyBookFestival Charles Foster 🇬🇷 He was excellent in the panel discussion (all speakers were) but he came from such a different angle, really provocative but assured. Loved it.

It was a wonderful weekend. Thank you so much to everyone involved. ShaftesburyBookFestival

Just reading this now... Charles Foster 🇬🇷 was the most disturbing speaker at ShaftesburyBookFestival , by which I mean he stirred me from my assumptions and offered a weird challenging and joyful new perspective

Went to brilliant talks at ShaftesburyBookFestival by Anita Roy, Stephen Moss and Brett Westwood. Caught up with lovely writer friends, and to top it off there were classic tractors. Great day off!
