Fox Cities Book Festival, April 11-17
Several Wisconsin Historical Society Press authors will take part in the Fox Cities Book Festival, a weeklong, multi-venue festival that celebrates literacy and the joy of reading by connecting writers and readers. The festival will be held April 11-17 and will feature more than 60 authors. For the third year, the Wisconsin Historical Society Press will have authors participating in the festival. Following are the Press authors who will take part in the festival in talks about their books:
