Literature festivals are all about discussing heavy tomes and chasing heavyweight authors for their pearls of wisdom about being and nothingness. Not really. Three women have come together to start a literature festival that caters to children from three to 14 years, and is particularly careful not to bore. So at Fully Booked, children listen to Charlie And The Chocolate Factory with a generous helping of chocolate soon after or they read a book on ballet dancing with some experience of ballet from a trained teacher.
