‘I make an argument, more convincing after a glass or two of vermentino, that all the other sauces are riffs on these elemental green (pesto), white (in bianco), or red (tomato). These archetypes are the very best and brightest; they form the colours of the tricolore[…]’ - Jacob Kenedy, ‘Pasta Tricolore: Recipes in Green, White and Red’.

Attention Pasta Lovers!!🍝

Jacob Kenedy will be joining us next Wednesday, the 21st, at Church House to discuss his new recipe book full of pasta deliciousness!

His collection of recipes are inspired by the Tricolore, with recipes for red, white, and green pasta sauces. Not only that, but Jacob includes ‘dozens of riffs and variations’ to make the sauces your own! With helpful tips and guides to help pair the perfect sauce with the right pasta, plus pasta recipes, this recipe book really has everything you need for a perfect pasta night!

If that doesn’t already sound scrumptious enough, we will be making some of Jacob’s recipes to serve to you on the night!

Pasta, a good book and a chat with an author - what more could you possibly want?🎉

We have limited spaces left for this event, so please book your place soon to avoid disappointment!!

Tickets are £10 each and are redeemable against the cost of the book, which you can purchase on the night (and before)! The event is taking place at Church House, Corsham on Wednesday 21st October at 7.30pm. You can email, ring or visit the shop to book your place!

“It’s itself, and yet it’s something larger, a universe so vast you could spend ten thousand lifetimes there - it may call itself a bookshop, but don’t be fooled by that.” - Brian Bilston, ‘Never Judge a Bookshop by its Cover’.

A day to celebrate our four-legged friends - the perfect opportunity to read about them too!

Who has a special canine in their lives? Of course, special mention goes to Janet’s lovely canine companion Alma!

COMPETITION TIME!

Last week, we were visited by the lovely illustrator of the Gruffalo, Axel Scheffler. Very kindly, he signed lots of his books and each one has a charming sketch in it.

We couldn’t possibly keep something so spectacular from you, so we are running a competition for you to win one of these Axel Scheffler signed books!

We only recently found out that Axel hides a Gruffalo in lots of his other non-Gruffalo books (you probably knew this already) - so here’s how to enter:

Spot the Gruffalo in the list of books below and tell us what he’s doing in each! The books are:

1. The Scarecrows’ wedding.
2. Tabby McTat.
3. The Smeds and the Smoos.

You can look in the library or in the bookshop or on your own bookshelves.

3 correct entries will get a free signed book - and we will offer a signed book for purchase to 20 runners up.

To take part, pop into the bookshop and collect an entry form!

Good luck!

What do PG Wodehouse, the pirates in ‘Peter Pan’, and Sherlock Holmes all have in common? (I promise this is not the start of a bad joke!) The answer? Cricket!🏏

When the pen had been stowed away after a day’s writing, some of our most well-known and well-loved authors took to the cricket fields in their down time!

Curious about this literary curve-ball? Ollie Randall will be free to explain all at St Bartholomew’s Summer Festival when he talks about his new book, ‘Writers in Whites’, on the 28th July! RSVP to The Corsham Bookshop if you’d like to come along!

Ollie Randall, ‘Writers in Whites’ @ St Bartholomew’s Church. Tues 28th July, 7.30pm.
