The lineup will reflect an appreciation of literature’s finest canine heroes and the writers who found their muse in the most loyal of species.

We'll also hear from fan-favourites Michael Morpurgo, Clare Balding, Russell Kane, Hugh Bonneville, Anita Mangan, Kevin McCloud and James Middleton across the weekend.
