We had a great time meeting graphic novelist Hannah Berry at London Book Fair back in March. The International Literature Showcase writer, who will also appear alongside Stephen Collins at our Satire & Protest event at Norfolk & Norwich Festival, spoke about her latest book Livestock, published on 26 May.
