About the event

GYLES BRANDRETH | SOMEWHERE, A BOY AND A BEAR
🐻✨ Gyles Brandreth – beloved writer, broadcaster, podcaster, and literary legend – is back with a heartwarming and revealing new biography of A. A. Milne, the creator of Winnie-the-Pooh 🧸.

Drawing on his personal friendship with the real Christopher Robin 🌳, Gyles uncovers the poignant story of a father, a son, and the bear who became a global icon 🌍. It’s a tale of childhood wonder, family complexities, and the longing for those enchanted places we never forget.

💬 “Whatever subject an author chooses or has chosen for him, he reveals no secret but the secret of himself.” – A. A. Milne

📖 We’re delighted to welcome Gyles back to the Isle of Wight Literary Festival after his sold-out session last year, this time with his latest publication – a must-read for fans of literature, nostalgia, and all things Pooh 🐾.

🎟️ Tickets available in late August.

Kindly sponsored by Seabourn
