In a change to our usual format we will be spending an evening in conversation with James Canton, unpicking an 8 year journey of discovery that led to the writing of his latest book, The Oak Papers.

With readings and wide ranging discussion we hope to drill down into James' personal relationship with oak trees, and his research into their associated myths, legends and literature down the centuries. There will be time to quiz him with some of your questions so please email us if…
