Four Stories High is one of the flagship events for the exciting new YARN Festival, sponsored by Bookhugger. Here’s what it’s all about:

We’ve taken Homer’s Odyssey and divided it into twelve equal measures, split across the four pillars of modern storytelling – film, theatre, literature and music. Novelists, thespians, auteurs and musicians across the city have been developing their own unique ‘odyssey twelfth’, but what will happen when we try and put it all back together again in story order? Join us to find out!

Our fractional Homers include Harriet Fleuriot, The Android Angel, The Room, Alex Preston and The Strumpettes.

We have a pair of tickets up for grabs – if you’re lucky enough to win, you need to be free on the night of Tuesday 23rd of February, between 19:30 and 21:30, to come to the Queen of Hoxton (and if you’re not lucky enough, come anyway, it’s only £5 each to get in). The Bookugger crew will be there too…

To win, answer the following question:

By what alternative name is the hero of Homer’s epic poem known?

• Achilles
• Ulysses
• Patroclus
