Opening The Box of Delights

An Online Conversation and Q&A

Monday 20 November

Online, 19:00 – 20:00 GMT

We are delighted to announce that we will be hosting an evening’s conversation and Q&A about John Masefield’s fantasy novel, The Box of Delights, just in time for Christmas. Together, our senior specialist, Dr. Phil Errington, and award-winning children’s writer, Piers Torday, will delve into the sources of Masefield’s inspiration, key themes and characters, and various adaptations of the novel, including Torday’s own adaptation with the Royal Shakespeare Company.

Join us for an exploration of what was once called one of the greatest children’s books ever written. Don’t forget to mark your calendars for this magical event!
