THE GUERNSEY LITERARY AND POTATO PEEL PIE BREAK
Exclusive literary tie-in from Channel Islands Direct
Press release date: 01/11/2010
Specialist tour operator Channel Islands Direct, is offering an exclusive package to encourage literary lovers to discover the island behind the global bestseller, ‘The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society’.
Literary devotees can now follow in the footsteps of the novel’s indomitable heroine, Juliet Ashton, by escaping to stunning Guernsey. Explore this unique island with a complimentary detailed Potato Peel Pie information pack and map, before relaxing with a delicious afternoon tea to sample Guernsey’s famous cream.
As readers of the novel will know, Guernsey residents love telling stories about their cherished homeland, so visitors are more than welcome to hire an optional tour guide. An informative and friendly tour is promised, but sadly a blossoming romance to rival Juliet Ashton’s is not guaranteed.

Wine is included and there’s even no need to hide it from the occupying forces.
