At the touch of a button, visitors will receive a short story that will take one, three or five minutes to read. [caption id="attachment_49356" align="aligncenter" width="1024"] Visitors are invited to the Crown Hotel to grab a free short story as part of the Literature Festival.[/caption] The story is printed on high quality, eco-friendly paper to read straight away or take away and read in a spare moment. Authors range from Emily Dickinson to Lewis Carrol, Ernest Hemingway and William Shakespeare to contemporary stories by lesser-known authors and aspiring new writers. All stories have been chosen with vocabulary, subject, style and emotions in mind to be accessible to a wide audience, which means it is a great opportunity to try a new genre or author. Rachel Tunnicliffe, Senior Partner at Raworths Solicitors said:
“The short stories dispenser allows us to take a moment to celebrate the joy of reading and storytelling, no matter how busy we are. "It’s a fun and engaging way to bring great writing and literature to the whole community.”Raworths Harrogate Literature Festival 2023 takes place at the Crown Hotel in Harrogate from Thursday 19th to Sunday 22nd October and features a line-up including Sir Ranulph Fiennes, Andy McNab, Gaby Roslin, Carrie and David Grant and Sir Vince Cable.
