2010 sees the fourth Franschhoek Literary Festival - a festival that brings together all things bookwormish: good books, great writers ... and fine wine.
The festival is growing an international reputation as a respected books and writer fair, with the focus on promoting South African writing and reading - and it's been well supported by the Franschhoek community. Last year's fest welcomed more than 3 000 visitors and 56 authors, poets and chairpeople.
This year, the Sunday Times and Porcupine Ridge Wines will be adding their support.
 The Sunday Times has a history of commitment to South African writers and writing and school support projects, including ReadRight and preparation for Matric. The Storybook Campaign aims to donate a mother-tongue copy of Storytime, a book of 10 South African stories, to half a million children over the coming year.
