North Cornwall Book Festival

We’re looking forward to this lovely panel event, Cream of Cornish, in which Peter McAllister will lead a discussion of Cornwall in Short with fellow anthology authors Shelley Trower, Clare Howdle and Kate Horsley at North Cornwall Book Festival in just over a week at 10-11am 27 September.

Join Peter McAllister and other writers who contributed to the 2025 Holyer an Gof shortlisted anthology, Cornwall in Short. With Gripping stories that showcase fresh and established talents alike, Cornwall in Short engages with folklore, history, architecture, and landscapes in an emotionally compelling thrust that celebrates a love of all things Cornwall.

The event will feature Peter McAllister, Clare Howdle, Shelley Trower, and Kate Horsley.
