From Joyce to Yeats and Wilde, Ireland has been renowned for its literary prowess, come this November you can meet the finest crop of the Emerald Isle’s bards at the Dublin Book Festival held from 8 to 12 November at various places around the Irish capital.

Anne Enright, John Connolly, Paul Lynch and Una Mannion are among the participants at the festival which features a diverse range of talent from the spoken and written word.

Since 2006, the Dublin Book Festival has been one of the leading literary festivals in the country, and with Dublin itself being a UNESCO City of Literature, what better place is there to celebrate the written word?
