Win a bundle of Beryl Bainbridge books

Delve into a world of witty, sharp, and unforgettable storytelling with a special prize bundle celebrating Beryl Bainbridge. Three lucky readers will win a curated set of Bainbridge’s acclaimed novels, plus a stylish Booker Prize tote bag to carry your new-found literary treasures wherever you go.

Inside the Bainbridge bundle you’ll find five Booker-nominated gems: An Awfully Big Adventure, Master Georgie, According to Queeney, Every Man for Himself, and The Bottle Factory Outing. Each title opens a window onto different corners of Bainbridge’s keen-eyed imagination, from theater rooms to bustling households, from sharp social observation to sly, dark humor.

In addition to the five-book bundle, winners will receive a limited-edition Booker Prize tote bag featuring a unique illustration, a keepsake that reminds you of this celebration of fiction. Three runners-up will also be in the running and will receive a copy of An Awfully Big Adventure and a Booker Prize tote, so there are rewards at different levels for readers who love great writing.

To enter, readers simply submit their details before the closing time. The draw will select six winners in total: three who receive the Bainbridge bundle, three who receive a single copy of An Awfully Big Adventure along with a tote. Winners will be notified by email, and prize delivery will be arranged in accordance with the organizers’ terms. The competition is open to readers around the world, and the current UK or US edition of An Awfully Big Adventure is used for the runners-up prize, with two different editions available for the main prize edition at random.

Publication date for this feature is April 7, 2026, and the closing time for entries is 12:00 BST on May 5, 2026. This is a free entry draw, with one entry per person, and entries that appear to come from automated methods may be disqualified. The winners will be announced after the draw, and the organizers will share information about prize delivery in line with their rules.
