Saturday 12th December 2026 6:00PM
Come on down to Rookery Books for an evening of live music and dramatic reading!
Explore the bookshop! Celebrate the launch of an audiobook and an album!! Drink mulled wine??
"As the tireless cogs of the 19th century grind the past into a thick pulp, a remote island community remains practically untouched. That is, until a letter arrives ordering the evacuation of every man women and child.
They can't understand why, but away they are taken, aboard "The Gutenburg" where hapless Captain Pritchard introduces them to the marvels of the modern world: jam, uniforms and paperwork.
Back on the island, in a boozy sweat with a throbbing hangover, Aleph awakes in his tent. Aleph never had much to do with the others, but gradually, he realizes they aren't just avoiding him, they're gone.
Will the islanders notice the absence of this misanthropic recluse?
And is Aleph really the islands only inhabitant now?"
Author and composer Joe will be there to read to you and play his accordion. There will also be a little food and drink.
This is a free event but a small donation to cover the cost of food would be appreciated.
12th December, 6pm, Upstairs in Rookery Books.
