MEET THE AUTHOR: GYLES BRANDRETH AT THE RIVERSIDE
He's known for his irrepressible good humour, garish jumpers and endless supply of anecdotes, so we're delighted that Gyles Brandreth will be joining us at The Riverside for this special lunchtime event.
For his latest book, Gyles has worked with his physiotherapist Finola Burrell to compile a list of 'The 7 Secrets of the Hundred-Year Life'. It's an unabashed 'self-help' book which is a wonderfully entertaining page-turner as well as a source of practical tips and fascinating information.
He was prompted to write it, he says, after a number of falls surprised him. Told to work with a physio to aid his recovery and prevent future episodes, he met Finola and together they've worked on this account of how to stay healthy, active and alert at every age. It's a book full of warm, witty and wise comments and observations, and it's fun, encouraging and uplifting, and this afternoon event will undoubtedly bring laughter, joy and hope.
Tickets are £20 to include a signed copy of the book, presented at the event. One further ticket can be purchased for £12, without the book.
Book now at www.theriverside.co.uk, telephone 01394 382174 or call in to the box office.
