The celebrated English cricket team of writers – known internationally as the Authors XI – will be returning to Corfù for a rematch with the locals, and around this will again spring a literary festival featuring writers, both visiting and local, discussions, cultural tours, Q&A sessions, poetry recitals, wine tastings, musical performances, culinary demonstrations and exhibitions … all celebrating the passion the Greeks and the British share for the arts, on the charmed island that is Corfu.
