South Hams Literary Festival invites you to meet local Author Paul Roberts as he takes you on an adventure in time through 5 centuries of local history and tales of Friendship, Love and Loss.

THE DOORS TO YESTERDAY is an adventure in time for 8 to 12 year olds and adults of all ages, based around the South Hams and Plymouth.

Tucked away in his reclamation yard, inside a barn that's as old as history itself, William Luscombe has a doorframe that allows any door placed in it to open into the time it was first made. He's kept this a secret for most of his long life but now wants to share it with his granddaughter, Pip

Pip Luscombe discovers there is far more to her grandfather than meets the eye, and a fantastic adventure of time travel, family, friendship, love and loss unfolds.

Friday 15 September 3.30-4.30
