DESCRIPTION:at the Acorn Theatre\, Wednesday 26th February 2025\, 7:30 pm\nJoin authors and two great friends of the library\, Philip Marsden and Tim Hannigan in conversation as they celebrate Philip’s new book\, Under a Metal Sky. They will talk about the cultures of Cornwall and Ireland\, the interplay of nature and mythology\, and Tim’s current travel book project. \nThe Morrab Library is delighted to be hosting this event\, and proceeds from ticket sales will support the ongoing care and preservation of our special place. \nLibrary Patron Philip Marsden is an acclaimed author of history and travel literature\, having written books like The Crossing Place and Rising Ground\, which explore themes from global journeys to local Cornish landscapes. His new work\, Under a Metal Sky delves into mining histories in Cornwall and ends in the Caucasus\, examining humanity’s uneasy relationship with natural resources. \nTim Hannigan\, a Cornish writer with a background in journalism\, has authored books on Indonesian history and Cornish culture\, including The Granite Kingdom. He divides his time between Cornwall and Ireland\, where he teaches\, and is currently working on a new book about a 500-mile walk across Ireland that explores historical access to the countryside. \nTickets to what will be a fascinating evening are now available exclusively through the Acorn Theatre. Use this link to buy tickets\, or drop by their box office to purchase them. Tickets will be sold on a Pay What You Can basis\, between £10 – £18\, with student tickets just £5. \nBuy tickets here. \nOur friends from the Edge of the World Bookshop will be selling copies of Philip’s and Tim’s books in the Acorn bar at the event. \nWe hope you can join us\, and enjoy what will be a wonderful evening whilst supporting our library.

SUMMARY:Library Talks | 'Three More Days' by Kate Morris
DESCRIPTION:We’re delighted to be joined by Kate Morris\, the author of Three More Days\, for a talk about her memoir on Saturday 15th February at 2pm. \nThree More Days is a story about living and dying\, loving and grieving. It is a true story. This memoir has been a long time in the writing. It tells how Kate Morris met her late husband\, Todd\, how they fell in love and married and how\, not so very many years later\, he died. She wanted him to matter\, to not be forgotten\, so she wrote. \nIt tells of living alongside grief and how that feels twenty years on. It is raw and honest and brutal and detailed and funny. It contains medical references along with first kisses on the beach\, overlooked by a sheep. Todd’s recipes sit beside recollections of him juggling children. Part diary\, part memoir\, part recipe book\, part travelogue\, part photo album\, 100% original. \nDuring the afternoon\, Kate will share personal stories and extracts from the book and then answer any questions that the audience may have. Copies of the book will be available to buy after the talk. \nTickets are allocated by a ballot system. Please email enquiries@morrablibrary.org.uk or call 01736 364474 to be entered into the ballot for a ticket.
