Human beings are, on the whole, very social animals. We gather together in small groups, large crowds, in waves on humanity bent on sharing this very unique experience of sharing, of interaction and support whether in times of joy, of friendship or sadness and grief.

Place these events into the minds and imaginations of our authors and works pour forth. An idea is formed, characters introduced and within a few minutes an absorbing interplay between you and the story are adding yet another layer. We’re delighted to introduce you to this gathering of classic talents including Katherine Mansfield, James Joyce, Edgar Allan Poe, William Makepeace Thackeray and many others.
