In a rare UK appearance on Saturday 1 April,
London's South Bank Centre is delighted to
welcome to the Purcell Room one of Sweden's
greatest exports: internationally acclaimed
best-selling novelist Henning Mankell.
World-renowned for his prize-winning
Inspector Wallander detective mysteries,
Henning Mankell's latest book presents a
departure from the world of crime fiction
with an extraordinary fable set in Africa, a
continent he has made his second home.
'Chronicler of the Winds' is an expertly
crafted tale which tells the tragic story of
Nelio, a street urchin known for living by
his wits. A bestseller in Europe,
'Chronicler of the Winds' is Mankell's first
non-crime novel to be published in English. |

The talk is scheduled to begin at 7:45 in the
Purcell Room of the South Bank Centre. Tickets are
being sold for £8.50 and can be
purchased at the Royal Festival Hall web site.
