Dartmoor - an illustrated talk
7pm Friday 4th April
Join artist Alex Murdin and writer Sophie Pierce for an evening exploring the magic and mystery of Dartmoor’s 280-million-year-old tors, with stunning new images. Their new book, Rock Idols: a guide to Dartmoor in 28 tors. is thought to be the first illustrated guide to Dartmoor in about a century; it has new original drawings of these mysterious monoliths, and shares tales of the authors’ adventures exploring them. It also delves into the moor’s archaeology, folklore and geology, telling the story of Dartmoor through the lens of its tors, and is a meditation on the human relationship with wild places, and the hold they have over our imagination.
Writing Nature is a series of events highlighting local/global writing on the natural world; our love for wild places, growing and caring for land, eco systems and sustaining them, from Devon to the Amazon. We begin the series with an illustrated talk with Alex Murdin and Sophie Pierce celebrating Dartmoor.
The evening will consist of a talk and presentation about Dartmoor, and audience Q&A, and book signing. We'll have copies of Rock Idol for sale at the event.
This event is taking place at Rowe Hall, The Mint, an eco Methodist Church at the top of Fore Street, Exeter, just up the road from Bookbag.
