Cornerstones: Subterranean Writings With Little Toller

Date: Tuesday, Sep 25 2018
Time: 7:30pm
Venue: Foyles
Price: £3

Adapted from a popular BBC Radio 3 series, Cornerstones presents a selection of essays from some of the UK’s leading landscape and nature writers including Mark Smalley, Rose Ferraby, Alyson Hallett and Fiona Hamilton.

The editor of the collection, Mark Smalley, and some of the contributing authors will discuss the geological identity of the British Isles, exploring the history of the bedrock beneath our feet.

“Place matters to people. That much is undeniable. Folks memories, deep history, the landscape has always and continues to exert a massive influence over the way we live. The ancient rock beneath us effects not only the shape of the landscape, but the flora and fauna that make their homes within it, what we eat and how we build and live.”
