Prepare to be enchanted! Come on a magical adventure, a perilous trip to another world  with four of the most imaginative writers. Naomi Ishiguro’s latest novel, set within a mythical archipelago brimming with dragons and Sun Spirits, high-tech hackers and bubble tea, is a dazzling fantasy inspired by anime and Japanese folklore. Sunday Times bestselling author, Dave Rudden’s new book Sister Wake has been called 'the rare epic fantasy that delivers on all levels' while Brian Franklin’s speculative fiction draws inspiration from the history and mythologies of Barbados and the wider Caribbean. With Jan Carson, this panel will seek to explain why we need fantasy more than ever.
