About the event
The Oak Papers
Booking Essential
Only 1 ticket required per device regardless of number of viewers in household
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. A BBC Radio 4 Book of the Week, it is populated with a rich cast of East Anglian characters, from ecologists and psychologists, to wood workers, artists and authors. But the central figure dominating everything is an extraordinary, iconic tree - The 800 year old Honywood Oak.
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…
