Helen Bain

Helen Bain will be talking about her debut novel, The Daffodil Days, at Brighton's Makers Market on Tuesday 23 February. The talk is hosted by Paper Daisy Events, so it sits within the market's wider day of makers and creators rather than as a standalone evening session.

The Daffodil Days is Bain's first novel, and she describes it as a reimagining of the poet. If you're into historical fiction or stories that take a well-known figure and look at them from a different angle, that's exactly where this one lands. It's a debut, so this is a good chance to hear her talk through the book and the ideas behind it.

Because it's part of the Makers Market, you'll find her alongside other local makers and crafts, so you can make a whole day of it rather than just popping in for the talk. It's hosted by Paper Daisy Events, who run the market, so you'll be in the middle of a proper Brighton craft fair atmosphere. If you're already planning to spend the day browsing the stalls, this is a natural addition to the trip.
