Ways with Words... Paris to the Lake District.
Sunday evening, and I'm feeling slightly daunted at the prospect of the week to come (much rushing hither and thither). But looking forward to speaking at the Words by the Water Literature Festival in Keswick on Wednesday, at the Theatre by the Lake. My talk is at 7pm, and tickets include a screening of Coco & Igor later that evening. The film is worth seeing, if only for the re-staging of the first night of the Rite of Spring, when a riot broke out in Paris. Here's hoping a good time will be had by all...
PS. If anyone is in Keswick today (Wednesday), they should definitely try to see Juliet Barker talking about the Brontes. She is a brilliant historian, and the consummate Bronte expert.

I love lakes and books and wish I could fly over to join you. What a gorgeous photo. I agree re Coco and Igor - worth seeing for clothes,ballet and music. I will be in London in June/ July, will you be talking anywhere then. I'd love to attend a talk.
The festival looks wonderful! I'm looking forward to seeing your photos from it.
Just back, and will report soonest.

Hi Justine,
I have recently read your book on Coco Chanel and I was hoping you had time for an interview regarding Coco Chanel's costume jewelry. For my Capstone project, I am writing about how Coco Chanel influenced the use of costume jewelry and gained social acceptance for it. I would love to hear from you and hopefully set up an e-mail or Skype interview. Please feel free to contact me at MTam@mountida.edu and I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you
