Award-winning, bestselling author Peter Barber
His humorous and heartfelt travel memoirs reveal the real Greece – not just sun and sea, but the wonderful people, rich history and culture. If you can’t get to Greece, live Greece through his books.
Peter Barber’s latest book – The Dunstable Ladies’ Dance Academy – is a warm, humorous and uplifting story set in Dunstable, inspired by a real dance class. It follows a diverse group of local women who come together for fitness and, without quite realising it, create something far more meaningful. A community. Through laughter, shared moments, and the occasional chaos of trying to follow the right steps, the story explores friendship, belonging, and the quiet power of simply turning up.
