The Spirit of Moray Book Festival is to take place from 18 – 22 September 2012 at Elgin Library in Moray.

This event celebrates Scottish culture, writing, publishing and illustration, promoting reading and encouragng debate.

Moray, a microcosm of the best of Scotland, its scenery, its food produce, its culture, its whiskies – breath taking.

The Spirit of Moray Book Festival likewise is steeped in quality, variety and discovery, an enriching and rewarding gathering of Scotland’s best authors, illustrators and poets connecting with, enfolding and inspiring eager audiences of all ages.

For young people and families it’s a pleasure to welcome back those authors who enthral, enchant, entertain and electrify young listeners and readers. These are the authors whose unique skills empower, enhance and energise a love of reading, books and learning throughout life, for life.

For adults here is a perfect blend of culture, crime, heritage and history, golf, land grabbing, lore, legend and verse, old favourites, new territory, surprise, delight and debate.

Meet, mingle, buy, borrow or lend, relax, discover, talk about, share and celebrate the sheer magic of the written and spoken word.
