CANCELLATION: Monday 14 September: We were very sad to hear of the death of Edward Stourton, who was due to speak at the Chiswick Book Festival about his book Made in America: The Dark History that led to Donald Trump. He was as fine a writer as he was a broadcaster and such was his popularity that his Festival session at Hogarth’s House sold out shortly after tickets went on sale. We are contacting those who had bought tickets and will consider whether to hold a replacement session in due course.
