Gabriel García Márquez was born on this day in 1927. He sadly passed in 2014.

If you haven't read his wonderful novel, One Hundred Years of Solitude, we recommend you fix that right now!

Shoutout to Elizabeth Barrett Browning, who would have been 216 today. Her Romantic poetry rivalled the works of peers such as Wordsworth and Tennyson and has influenced many modern day writers.

“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.”

Dr. Seuss was born 118 years ago today!

Plenty of poets have turned to the beautiful game for lyrical inspiration, and today it's Rosie Driffill's turn to explore the sensory thrill of a cup game in her poem 'We'.

My favourite book is East of Eden

[The York Journal @TheYorkJournal]

We're here again with another literary birthday. Today it's John Steinbeck's turn, with one of our favourite quotes:
"The story goes on and leaves the writer behind, for no story is ever done."
He would have been 120 today, and his words are as true as ever.

[The York Journal @TheYorkJournal]

Recognise this chap? That's Victor Hugo, who would have been celebrating his 220th birthday today. Who else will be watching Les Misérables this evening?
