So soon! Our event with Dr Amy Jeffs. Amy will be in conversation with Eleanor Janega (host of Gone Medieval podcast)!

Amy Jeffs is the bestselling author of Storyland: A New Mythology of Britain and Wild: Tales from Early Medieval Britain. She will be joining us for her new book Arthur.

‘It is said that a monument now stands before the high church of Caerleon: an anvil pierced through with a sword. It is said that the sword can only be taken by the Britons’ rightful king.’

From Sunday Times bestseller Amy Jeffs’, Arthur: A New Life mines the deep, elusive seams of a story we think we all know: the legend of King Arthur.

But here he is anew: a larger-than-life warlord, a hero raised by fairies, a leader of the wild hunt, a monster-slayer, lying wounded under the ash cloud, longing to rise again.

Tracing an epic story from Merlin’s conception and the building of the Round Table to the abduction of Guinevere and King Arthur’s ambitious quest for Empire, this Arthur is as real as any other, brought back to life from the earliest sources.

Drawing out the dark and beautiful stories from the original medieval and early-modern texts, Amy guides the reader from citadels through forests, into volcanoes, caves and riverbanks and beyond, even as far as Hell and the Otherworld. Going further than merely the stories, she provides incisive commentary about each tale, emphasising the legends’ crafted nature and their symbiotic relationship with the political cultures of contemporary medieval Europe.

Thirty original linocut illustrations map the inky Arthurian myth-scape, darkened by time, familiar as a dream.

This Saturday 5th at 2pm! Please join us for a reading and craft activities with the author of this beautiful book Frances Tosdevin 🍂 totally free, just turn up.

About A Light in the Autumn Night:
Mole loves autumn, but when night falls, he prefers to stay safely inside. The dark is far too scary.

One night, Mole kindly shares his glowing pumpkin light with friends who pass by in the wind and shadows. But when Mole steps into the darkness himself and his light goes out, fear takes over. Lost and alone, he soon discovers that the kindness he gave has followed him into the night.

A warm, gentle tale about overcoming fear, the comfort of friendship, and how even the smallest light can shine brightest when it’s shared.
