STRANGER THAN FICTION
The fascinating lives of three bestselling authors from the 20th century
Just some of the stories you will discover:
The ambitious writer who became a Guinness World Record holder, and tracked down Dr Crippen’s mistress after she went into hiding; the brave author who flew Spitfires in WW2 then moved to Scotland in search of the Loch Ness monster; the determined bestseller who campaigned as a suffragette and defied the Nazis in occupied Italy.
Ursula Bloom, CL Skelton and Naomi Jacob were three highly-popular, bestselling authors. They also lived through the defining moments of the twentieth century.
Proprietor and publisher Ian Skillicorn shares how their personal stories influenced their writing, proving that fact can indeed be stranger than fiction.
2:00pm in the Reading Room on the first Tuesday of the month.
Facilitated by Dr Paul Burns
