Simon Winchester Book Launch & Reading
A British author based now in the US, Winchester is well known for his well researched books that tell stories of history and travel in thoughtful prose. Far from the dusty tomes you might associate with history books from school, Winchester has taken the stories of our past and brought them to modern audiences with flair. Books like The Professor and the Madman (about the creation of the Oxford English Dictionary) and Krakatoa (about the 1883 eruption of the Indonesian volcano) have been bestsellers and book club favourites. Winchester’s new book is described as a biography of the Atlantic ocean.
