Sally’s most recently published bookA History of the Countryside in 100 objectsconnects the reader to ancient artefacts, nostalgic memorabilia and curious objects all with something to say about our rural past. In this event, we’ll hear most about the objects that have magical or superstitious connections… so expect to listen to chat about dried cats, knitting sheaths and lots more!
