'The food banks of the brain' - World renowned author who grew up within stone's throw of West Bromwich champions borough libraries
James Grant CBE, better known as Lee Child who has sold around 200 million books in his career delivered a sold-out talk and question and answer session at West Bromwich Town Hall.
Visiting as part of the Sandwell Libraries Literature Festival, the now 70-year-old, who took to writing only 31 years ago when he was made redundant from Granada TV, spoke to around 200 people at the newly refurbished High Steet venue many of who brought along books for him to sign.
Invited to the festival partly to promote the borough's libraries and giving his services free of charge, he spoke to the Express & Star before going on stage and said his life as it is owed its existence to books.
