Tickets were snapped up no sooner than they went on sale and the event was once again a resounding success.

As there were a limited number of tickets, it is a pleasure to share the highlights of various sessions with celebrated authors talking about their books and related topics.

Books were available from Bargain Books on the day and can be found in their stores in Knysna and Plett.

Festival organiser Sasha Campbell said, "Every event sold out, which we are totally thrilled about. 

"Attendance was not only by locals but a huge increase in swallows and guests from Joburg, Cape Town and Port Elizabeth, which is very exciting to see. 

"Definitely our best KLF ever, it's going to be very difficult to top this one, but watch this space. Next year's dates are 8 to 10 March."
