The Edinburgh International Book Festival – where fantastic facts meet fascinating fiction

The Edinburgh International Book Festival has over 60 inspiring author events for school pupils of all ages. Running from 18-26 August, the programme features the best writers and illustrators for young people and covers a host of subjects relevant to the curriculum, from the Vikings to the First World War.  A transport fund is available to help schools meet the cost of taking their pupils to the Festival, and every child who attends an event will receive a £2 book voucher to spend in the Festival’s bookshops. There is also a series of Continuing Professional Development events for education professionals. Further information and full programme listings can be found on the Book Festival website and in the brochure.
