Myriad and  the International Anthony Burgess Foundation in Manchester are co-hosting a special evening to celebrate two extraordinary writers who happen to share not only a name and a profession but also a love of birds.

Sometimes confused with one another, even by themselves, Nicholas Royle (author of Quilt and other works) and Nicholas Royle (author of First Novel and other works) talk about their shared interest in birds, stories and the uncanny, and read from their new books: An English Guide to Birdwatching and Ornithology.

Tickets are £5 to include wine, and redeemable against purchase of a signed copy of a book.

Book tickets by telephone on 0161 235 0776 or by visiting the International Anthony Burgess Foundation in Manchester.
