Lancashire author’s talk at Bury Library

Award-winning local author Robert Williams will be making an appearance at Bury Library on Friday 9 May.

Robert grew up in Clitheroe and now lives in Manchester. His first novel “Luke and Jon” won a Betty Trask Award, was translated into six languages, and called “a hugely impressive debut” in the Daily Telegraph.

His second novel “How the Trouble Started” was shortlisted for the Portico Prize for Fiction, and he has now published his third book “Into the Trees”.

Robert has also worked in a secondary school library, as a bookseller for Waterstones, and has written and released music under the name The Library Trust.

The event takes place at 1pm, and admission is free. Visitors will have the opportunity to buy his books.
