The wonderful Simon Hall will be joining us on the 24th of September at 7pm to talk about his history book, Three Revolutions ! Simon will be in conversation with fellow history author, Nir Arielli. Tracing the origins of three pivotal global revolutions through six key journeys, Hall's fascinating and original volume reveals the extraordinary drama behind history's turning points. The gripping, untold story of how six epic journeys launched the three communist revolutions that changed world history forever. From the streets of Petrograd during the heady autumn of 1917, to Mao's stunning victory in October 1949, and Fidel's triumphant arrival in Havana, in January 1959, the history of the twentieth century was transformed in dramatic and profound ways by the Russian, Chinese, and Cuban revolutions. In Three Revolutions , the stories of these epoch-defining events are told together for the first time. At the heart of each revolution was an epic journey: Lenin's 1917 return to Russia from exile in Switzerland; Mao's 'Long March' of 1934-35, covering some 6,000 miles across China; and Fidel Castro's return to Cuba in 1956 following his exile in Mexico. Told in tandem with these are the corresponding journeys of three extraordinary journalists - John Reed, Edgar Snow and Herbert L. Matthews - whose electric testimony from the frontlines of each revolution would make a decisive contribution to how these revolutions were understood in the wider world. Here, in Simon Hall's masterful retelling, these six remarkable journeys are brought vividly to life. Featuring a stellar cast, extraordinary drama and an epic sweep, Three Revolutions raises fundamental questions about the nature of political power, the limits of idealism and the role of the journalist - questions that remain of utmost urgency today. Simon Hall studied history at Sheffield and Cambridge, and held a Fox International Fellowship at Yale, before moving to the University of Leeds, where he is currently Professor of Modern History. His previous books include 1956: The World in Revolt and Ten Days in Harlem: Fidel Castro and the Making of the 1960s. Information Source: Waterstones | eventbrite

We're delighted to have Owen Davies and Ceri Houlbrook joining us in conversation with fellow author Stu Hennigan to talk about their book, Folklore . The event will be taking place on the 25th of September at 7pm. Folklore is A gripping guide to the weird yet everyday world of British folklore. In this ground-breaking book, two leading experts provide the definitive guide to British folklore past and present. Owen Davies and Ceri Houlbrook explore folklore in all its remarkable variations, from village rituals and fairy tales to UFO legends and internet fanfiction. Travelling through a landscape of witches, wizards and wicker men, they reveal how folklore has been researched and written about in the past and show how it continues to be lived in the present. At the same time, they provide the reader with a valuable toolkit for understanding how to interpret the diverse examples given. The book’s key message is that folklore is much more than the fossilised remains of a distant, rural past. Folklore is and always has been ubiquitous, dynamic and political. It is a living tradition that draws from many sources, including migrant communities, and is forever being renewed and updated. Stu Hennigan is a writer, poet and musician from the north of England. His book Ghost Signs (Bluemoose, 2022) was shortlisted for two national literary awards including Best Book By A Non-Parliamentarian at the Parliamentary Book Awards in 2023. His debut novel Keshed will be released in February 2026, followed by Disappear Here, his landmark study of American culture and society analysed through the novels of Bret Easton Ellis, in 2027, both with Ortac Press. His short fiction, essays, poetry, criticism and journalism have been published widely in print and online. He also plays guitar in the rock band Kamień. Information Source: Waterstones | eventbrite
