BOOKS AT THE FESTIVAL
So what appears in the books strand? Well, both the Brighton Festival and the Brighton Fringe boast literature sections, which see authors, writers, journalists and other book related types delivering talks and readings or participating in debates. And then, in the latter half of the month, there's the really rather impressive Charleston Festival, getting all literary just outside the city. Possibly not the most obvious bit of the Festival, but often one of the best bits.
