One of the Authors featured in Literary Norfolk
Norfolk provides the 'still centre' when all around is turmoil. The air has a different quality to it the moment you cross the border. You can smell when you are entering Norfolk. There is a softness and a sweetness in the air.' Edward Storey, 1985.

Welcome to Literary Norfolk! Isolated geographically and independent
spiritually, Norfolk is good at keeping secrets. We invite you to take a journey
through many beautiful and varied landscapes - both real and imagined - in
search of one of Norfolk's best-kept secrets: its literary heritage. Explore the
coastline where Robinson Crusoe is first shipwrecked, sail unspoilt waterways
with Arthur Ransome, gallop across open fields with Anna Sewell's Black Beauty.
This is the land of Charles Dickens' David Copperfield, P D James' Devices and
Desires and Jack Higgins' The Eagle Has Landed. Divided into ten chapters, each
corresponding to a distinct geographical area of the county, Literary Norfolk
provides a fascinating literary tour from the Middle Ages to the
millennium.
