“We are expecting around forty exhibitors for this first edition of our Books for You event. It will mainly concern cultural actors around books in Normandy. Which means that the guests will all be Norman or have ties to Normandy”explains Christophe Lhermitte, the bookseller of the Jardin des muses.
Since his installation in the town and the opening of his bookstore in February 2023, the bookseller has continued to organize various events for all audiences in order to liven up his bookstore but also the village.
With this new event, the Castelblangeois hits even harder since it should attract even more people than during the arrival of Nicole Lambert, author of the books Les Triplés, who will also be present again for this event. “During this book day, there will be more than 30 authors, illustrators and publishers present but also four booksellers, four book artisans, that is to say a binder gilder, a restorer, an illuminator, a calligrapher. We will also have the presence of several artists: storyteller, actor, organist, singer, etc., and the journalist and writer Jérôme Garcin who comes as a neighbor since he lives in Mesnil-sur-Blangy. There will also be the author of the books Max and Lily, Dominique de Saint-Mars, which should please children. »
