Earlsdon-based writers Chris Arnot and Peter Walters will be talking about their new books in the Criterion Theatre bar on Tuesday, October 29. Pete has written The Story of Coventry for the History Press, covering a thousand years of our city’s rich and colourful past, and he has promised to condense a millennium into a speech of 20 minutes or so! His book will be published in December, just in time for Christmas.
Chris will be talking about Britain’s Lost Mines, having travelled from Cornwall to Scotland and Down to Kent, talking to former miners who dug and blasted for coal, tin, slate, iron ore, fluorspar, lead and gold. Lee Hall, who wrote Billy Elliot, has described his new book as “an extraordinary gallery of lives and landscapes.” Published by Aurum, copies will be available for sale on the night.
Starts at 7.30 pm.
