Tony Parsons: Man & Dog

25 years after multi-million seller Man and Boy won British Book of the Year - and 50 years after he broke onto the scene with the NME - Tony Parsons returns to the Festival for our 20th edition with his first non-fiction in over a decade. His tribute to spaniel Stan on his passing was his most-read Sun column ever; Man & Dog takes us to Hampstead Heath and its starry dog-walkers in his poignant, funny and deeply human memoir about that special bond we have with our four-legged friends.

Tony will be in conversation with Cindy Burrowes.
