Some Corner of a Foreign Field... Ted Jones recently appeared in book festivals on the French Riviera and in Scotland. Following his presention of the paperback edition of his book, The French Riviera: A Literary Guide at the Villa Luciane at La Gaude, he was one of only three British authors (pictured) among the 300 French writers invited to discuss their books in “Meet the Author” sessions during the three-day Nice Festival du Livre. Last week Ted was in Scotland at the Edinburgh International Book Festival, where he shared the stage of the Peppers Theatre with novelist and biographer (and fellow Scouser) Nicholas Murray. They were interviewed by Radio Four’s Lesley Campbell and later signed copies of their books in the Edinburgh Festival Bookshop. "It's been a hectic summer: I'm now looking forward to doing some writing for a change", said Ted.


	BOOK SIGNING AT Villa Luciane in La Gaude As part of the ongoing series of events to launch the book on the French Riviera, Ted participated in a gala event combining the text of his book with an exhibition of the paintings of Bernard Payet, the illustrator of the book to commemorate the six-months anniversary of the launch. More than fifty art and literature enthusiasts attended the exhibition at the Villa Luciane in La Gaude, in the foothills of the Maritime Alps, to hear extracts from the book and enjoy original paintings illustrating Riviera scenes from the book.
