Todmorden Book Festival

Home Secretary under Tony Blair and Gordon Brown and best-selling author of This Boy and Please Mr Postman, Alan Johnson kicks off this year’s festival in a conversation with Todmorden Mayor Ben Jancovich. The wide-ranging discussion will cover Alan’s new book – an insightful assessment of the career and governments of Harold Wilson – but also his own life, work and achievements. Includes an opportunity for the audience to ask their own questions of a man who has been at the heart of some of the major political events of our times.
