Daunt Books not only runs great shops, most of them in London; it’s also a publisher and has its own annual festival. The line-up for the next festival, on March 19 and 20 at its Marylebone branch, includes Tim Dee, talking about his latest book, Greenery, in which he seeks to travel with the spring and its migratory birds, north from South Africa to Britain; Simon Loftus, author of Puligny-Montrachet: Journal of a Village in Burgundy (which Daunt republished last year); and Paul Wood, author of London is a Forest and London’s Street Trees, who will be leading a walk on the second day. Also on the bill are writers including Sebastian Barry, Colum McCann, Olivia Laing, Caroline Criado Perez and Max Porter.
