John Crace: Taking the Lead

About this event

In conversation with Simon Fanshawe OBE

From the ingeniously quick-witted John Crace comes a satirical memoir from the eyes of his beloved dog, Herbie. And as a Westminster veteran, boy does he have some stories to share!

This is the story the politicians didn't want you to know. What are Larry the Cat and Dilyn the Dog really like? How did Charlotte Owen get a peerage? Herbert Hound, finally, tells all.

John Crace is the Guardian's parliamentary sketch-writer. He has written a number of books, including I, Maybot, Decline and Fail, and A Farewell to Calm.

"I lap up everything John Crace writes gratefully: I love his cleverness, his wit, and his heart." Nigella Lawson
