39th annual Book festival opens at Zappeion Mansion, Athens

The 39th annual book festival opened yesterday, in the courtyard of the Zappeion Mansion, in central Athens.
The Book Festival, which runs through September 19, is organised annually by the Association of Book Publishers in collaboration with the City of Athens’ Cultural Organisation and Historical Archives under the aegis of the Culture and Tourism Ministry, and includes a variety of events from photo exhibitions to reading games for all ages!
This year more than 160 publishers are going to participate in the book festival and will present more than 50,ooo books in 13 fully organised stands. As far as the events are concerned, the visitors should definately visit the exhibition of up-to-now unpublishedphotographs of Athens in 1888. All photographs are from the City of Athens’ Historical Archives and are contained in a collectors’ edition published by the city, called “Athinai”, which will be formally presented on September 15 in the evening.
Furthermore, the National Book Centre has scheduled a series of reading for children entitled “Fairytales of the World”. On Saturday, Sunday as well as next Sunday, at 7 :00 -8:00 p.m the children will have the rare opportunity to attend readings of folk histories and fairytales from every corner of the Earth, which until recently constituted the oral tradition for many countries.
