PLEASE NOTE: The title of the event on the EIBF website has been made in error. We are not delivering an event in or about Braille. The workshop will, however, spotlight a speech by Helen Keller celebrating the life of Louis Braille in which participants will have the opportunity to write their names using the Braille code. The authors were not responsible for this mistake and hope that it has not caused confusion or offence. If you have any concerns, please contact the Festival programming team, admin@edbookfest.co.uk. Thank you.
