Walk & Talk Book Club - Finding Albion by Zakia Sewell | Sunday 27 September, 4-6pm
type: Product
description: Join us to enjoy Durham as the seasons turn to autumn for our next WALK & TALK book club. This time, we'll be reading and talking about Zakia Sewell's Women's Prize for Non-Fiction longlisted search for the authentic stories of Britain's past - Finding Albion: Myth, Folklore and the Quest for a Hidden Britain. We'll take an hour or so to walk in and around Durham before heading back to the shop to enjoy tea, cake, and even more conversation. --- Zakia Sewell is on a quest for another Britain. Traversing the length and breadth of our island from Somerset to Scotland, she's seeking out a different story - one that lies beyond divisive national myths and symbols. In Finding Albion, Zakia uncovers an alternative spirit of Britain that is vividly alive today. It is found in otherworldly folk songs, ancient legends, Celtic seasonal rites and mystic stone circles that punctuate our landscape. Her journey begins as the sun rises on the spring equinox over Glastonbury Tor, where she meets neopagans reclaiming traditions from our pre-Christian past. At summer's peak at Notting Hill Carnival she hears cultural echoes that passed along the slave trade routes from the Caribbean. On All Hallow's Eve she encounters the ghosts of Empire that are still haunting the nation, and in the depths of a Cornish winter she asks if today's new folk revival could unite our increasingly divided country? --- Your £5.00 ticket = £5.00 redeemable against a book bought at the book club. AND if you buy your copy of Finding Albion from us after booking your space, we'll give you 20% off! (RRP £25.00) Available in-store NOW! - make sure to let us know you are a walk & talk book clubber when you come to pay.
