Franschhoek Literary Festival 2009

"A book can change your life. You can read yourself out of poverty."


If you crave a good book, or would like to listen to authors, poets, readers and publishers talking about their lives and work and passions and debating issues, then visit the third Franschhoek Literary Festival (FLF) which will be held from 15 - 17 May 2009.

This lively event in the winelands village of Franschhoek has become an important part of the arts and literary calendar in South Africa and is supported by local and international book fanatics.

Funds raised from the festival are devoted to classroom libraries which supply new age-appropriate books to crèches and schools within the Franschhoek community.
