AS Ilkley Literature Festival starts tomorrow, Friday, October 2 we look a little closer at some of the events taking place that still have a few tickets available.

A late and welcome addition to the line-up, comedian Jenny Éclair will talk about her newest novel ‘Moving’; likely to appeal to fans of Maggie O’Farrell and Kate Atkinson ‘Moving’ is the story of a family and its secrets.

Jenny said: "I'm looking forward to coming back to Ilkley, last time I visited I had a spectacular omelette at Betty's, I'm hoping to repeat the experience. I also want to show off about the book, it's one of the best things I've ever done - if you don't believe me, try reading it!”

Fellow TV comedian and writer Dom Joly returns to Ilkley, this time with his official memoir ‘Here Comes the Clown’ which begins the day the first episode of ‘Trigger Happy TV’ aired and his sudden rise to household name.

High-profile feminism campaigner Caroline Criado-Perez will present her recently published book ‘Do It Like a Woman… and Change the World’, a collection of true stories that introduces the reader to courageous women from all walks of life.

Crime writer and poet Sophie Hannah, in conversation with James Nash, will discuss her latest volume of poetry, ‘Marrying the Ugly Millionaire’; her new standalone psychological thriller, ‘A Game For All the Family’, and her experiences of writing the first Hercule Poirot novel to be published since Agatha Christie's death - ‘The Monogram Murders’.

Non-fiction fans can still get hold of one of the last few tickets to see veteran broadcaster Jonathan Dimbleby who explores the longest campaign of World War II, ‘The Battle of the Atlantic’, and former BBC correspondent Misha Glenny who delves into the drug cartels of Brazil in his latest investigations entitled ‘One Man and the Battle for Rio’.
