Oh to be part of an audience again, listening to talented and interesting writers, delighting us Issue 42 with their knowledge, intellect and humour. To sit with like minds, or unlike minds, laughing, © Julian Anderson crying or just being absorbed as the conversation winds it way into other worlds. We are emerging from this pandemic desperate for culture, but also, after a year of caution, still wanting to be careful. This year’s Henley Literary Festival addresses both those emotions. The programme is rich in its variety and quality, but we have also made sure it’s a safe environment. For the first time in our 15 year history we are building a 500 seater marquee as well as our two bigger venues – Christ Church and the Town Hall - so that distancing, if required, can be maintained. I have never been more proud of the tiny, covid-depleted-team who have worked so hard to build such a magnificent awe-inspring nine-day programme under such difficult circumstances. Thank you Harriet, Lou, and Kallie for your magnificence against the odds, and thanks to all our sponsors, particularly Baillie Gifford, for staying with us through the rough times and ensuring we are not only still here, but very much alive and kicking. Now we ask you, our loyal supportive audience, to come, join us. SUE RYAN, FESTIVAL FOUNDER Our free and award-winning investment trust magazine brings you writing on the ideas that shape our world.
