Samantha Wynne-Rhydderch will be reading from her latest collection Banjo.

Celebrating the centenary of Captain Scott's arrival at the South Pole in 1912, Banjo gives us new psychological insight into the lives of the early Antarctic pioneers, as well as an extraordinary account of the role played by music in surviving the long Antarctic winters.

Samantha Wynne-Rhydderch studied Classics at Cambridge, followed by an MA in Writing at the University of Wales, Cardiff. She is currently an Affiliate of Birkbeck College, London. Her collection Not in These Shoes (Picador, 2008) was shortlisted for Wales Book of the Year in 2009.
