To commemorate the 500th anniversary of the
Hebden Bridge, the Festival presents an evening with
two writers renowned for their work about the
Tudors.
 Alison Weir is an unashamedly popular historian and
historical novelist whose twenty-three best-selling
books - many about the Tudors - have done much to
illuminate some of the murkier stretches of our
country’s past.
‘Weir provides immense satisfaction. She writes in a
pacy, vivid style, engaging the heart as well as the mind’. (The Independent)
Suzannah Dunn’s new novel is The Confession of
Katherine Howard, the story of Henry VIII's teenaged
fifth wife who was executed for adultery after only
fifteen months of marriage. Her other
work includes a best-selling novel
about Anne Boleyn, The Queen
of Subtleties, and The Sixth Wife,
on Katherine Parr. Prior to
writing about the Tudors, she
published five
contemporary-set novels
and two collections of
stories.
‘Dunn is a remarkable writer,
a lyricist of ordinary life and
ordinary people transfigured
by extreme emotion' (Daily Telegraph)
