The Bookery Presents: Ian Mortimer – Through the Windows of an Ordinary House

Sunday Times bestselling author of the acclaimed Time Traveller’s Guides Dr Ian Mortimer will be at The Bookery at 7pm on Friday 18th September to celebrate the publication of his remarkable new book ‘Through the Windows of an Ordinary House: A History of England’ in conversation with Catherine Courtenay, Editor of Devon Life magazine.

Set in Mortimer’s house on the edge of Dartmoor, the book blends the broad sweep of 900 years of national history with the intimate detail of local lives and changing daily experience of a rural Devon community. Rich in character, atmosphere and insight, it is social history on an unusually human scale, revealing the changing world through the eyes of those who lived within it.

Tickets £6 – ticketholders will receive 10% off purchases of ‘Through the Windows of an Ordinary House’ on the evening.
