Sam Leith & Lucy Mangan | Growing Up with Books
Sun 27 Apr 2025 | 12:00pm – 1:00pm

Join Sam Leith (author of The Haunted Wood: A History of Childhood Reading) and Lucy Mangan (author of Bookish) for an insightful discussion on the power of childhood reading and its lasting impact on our lives. Both writers explore how stories written for children offer a window into our deepest hopes, fears, and dreams, shaping who we are and staying with us long after we grow up.
