SUMMARY:The Holy Wells of Cornwall
DESCRIPTION:One of our brilliant volunteers\, Guy English\, will be giving a talk entitled ‘The Holy Wells of Cornwall’ at Morrab Library on Wednesday 14th February (2pm). \nThis is a story of searching for Cornwall’s Holy Wells\, first in chance encounters\, then by turns curiously\, obsessively\, finally doggedly. For five years Guy English and his late wife Catharine scoured the county\, following the previous authors\, but also checking maps\, streams\, apparently pointless footpaths\, and in the process found more than twenty wells not previously recorded. \nTheir hope is the book will encourage others to seek these wells. Some are special for beauty\, for remoteness\, for the spiritual sense that many recognise\, or for the stories which have accreted over time. At the very least\, there are some good walks\, and the discovery of parts of Cornwall not to be missed. \nBut this is also a story of their partnership\, and something of a memorial\, being one part of the huge legacy of art and poetry left by Guy’s wife of fifty years. \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. The ballot closes on Monday 5th February. Entry to this event is free but donations are welcomed to help support Morrab Library (suggested £5). Refreshments will be provided after the talk.

SUMMARY:The History of the  Children’s Novelty Book  With Dr Ian Alcock
DESCRIPTION:Alongside conventional children’s books\, where pictures and stories entertain and educate\, there are novelty formats\, where pictures transform themselves\, come to life on the page\, pop up off the page\, break into sound or invite interactive participation through an array of gimmicks. Tens of millions of children have lifted flaps to solve the Where’s Spot? conundrum\, or peeped through the page holes in The Very Hungry Caterpillar. They can seem like the latest thing\, but children have had novelty books for as long as they have had books. \nDr Ian Alcock has published articles on the early history of novelty books. His illustrated talk will plot their development from the 18th century and is appropriate for children aged 9-99. \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. The ballot closes on Monday 12th February. Entry to this event is free but donations are welcomed to help support Morrab Library (suggested £5).Refreshments will be provided after the talk.

SUMMARY:Mark Cottle talk at The Acorn | Studies in Leadership: Elizabeth I & Churchill
DESCRIPTION:Mark Cottle returns to the ACORN Theatre in Penzance for an evening of illustrated talks. \nThe event focuses on two leaders in very different times and places – Elizabeth I and Winston Churchill. Both were to face invasion and defeat. Both succeeded against the odds. The illustrated talks focus on the life\, times and leadership qualities of Elizabeth I and Churchill in turn. Both leaders were unique\, but points of comparison and contrast arise to give insights into leadership qualities we may see as timeless. \nMark Cottle is a freelance lecturer with many years’ experience in lecturing at home and abroad. He lives in Devon and is a frequent visitor to Penzance – giving illustrated talks at Morrab Library and institutions around the world. \nTickets are £10 per Adult and £8 for under 16s and are available to book from The Acorn Theatre Box Office (www.theacornpenzance.com or by calling the Box Office on 01736 363545).
