So this weekend I suggest you ditch a weekend of culture for a week day dose by checking out the literature week hosted by the British Academy for the Humanities and Social Sciences.
'Other Worlds After Dark' is a week long exploration, via lectures and events, into the fantastical worlds of fairy tales and folk lore. A host of experts and authors will be on hand to discuss the literary themes of the event which includes uncovering the golden age of storytelling and exploring African folklore through the Anansi Tales.
For literature fans or for those just looking to escape the 9-5 for a world of fantasy, it's a must!
