  • Breakfast-time book launch – Stephen Butt’s “Leicester”

Breakfast-time book launch – Stephen Butt’s “Leicester”

Please come and join us for a very special book launch on Wednesday August 15th

Stephen Butt, our local historian, has a new book being published as part of the Historic England collection. “Leicester” is an illustrated history of Leicester and Leicestershire

The photographs throughout this book are taken from the unique Historic England Archive, the nation’s record of twelve million photographs, drawings and publications, ranging from the 1850s and the earliest days of photography up to the present day

This illustrated history portrays one of England’s finest major cities and some of its county towns and villages, including Kibworth. It provides a nostalgic look at Leicester’s past and highlights the special character of some of its most important historic sites

Doors open at 10am for complimentary drinks including Buck’s Fizz and juices, and croissants

Stephen’s illustrated talk commences at 10.30am with a book signing at 11.30am

The book will be available to purchase at a special price of £9.50

Tickets are £5 in advance and £6 on the door and are on sale now in the Library

Fabulous quotes

"And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees, just as things grow in fast movies, I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer." F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby
