The 2nd Haliburton Literary Evening is held to coincide with the London Book Fair, which provides an opportunity for authors from around the globe to celebrate their works in front of an international audience. Canadian authors, poets and playwrights are always well represented – whether they have flown in from Canada directly or live in London permanently. Join us in welcoming another fine selection of literary talent in London:
Annie Freud: London Poet. Recently published Best Man that Ever Was (Picador), which won the Glen Dimplex New
Writing Award in Ireland.
