Control: The Dark History and Troubling Present of Eugenics by Adam Rutherford

How to Read a Tree by Tristan Goooley


Wednesday 26th April, 7.30pm, Junior School Hall at Alleyn's School


Have you ever looked at a tree and wondered what secrets it holds? We have just the event for you! Bestselling author Tristan Gooley will be discussing his latest book How To Read a Tree.


Deliciously Simple by Jane Lovett: Cookery Demo


Wednesday 10th May, 7.30pm, MCT at Alleyn's School


Jane's cookery books are firm favourites in the bookshop. Her latest cookery book is a collection of over 100 recipes – from starters to puddings, with everything in between – which are deceptively straightforward without any compromise on taste, and all with an emphasis on speed. Jane will be demonstrating a recipe from the book and chatting to author and journalist Felicity Cloake.


Anne Boleyn & Elizabeth I: The Mother and Daughter Who Changed History by Tracy Borman


Thursday 8th June, 7.30pm, MCT at Alleyn's School


Elizabeth was less than three years old when her mother was executed. It is often assumed that her mother Anne Boleyn exerted little influence over her. There is compelling evidence that her mother exerted a profound influence on her character, beliefs and reign. Piecing together evidence from original documents and artefacts, this book tells the story of Anne Boleyn’s relationship with, and influence over her daughter Elizabeth. In so doing, it sheds new light on two of the most famous and influential women in history.

    • I have a rescue Spanish greyhound (galgo) from the charity mentioned above. You can contact Greyhounds in Need or one of the more local Kent greyhound rescue charities. They are fantastic family dogs. They do love walkies 2 or 3 times a day but they actually don't need to be walked too far and then they will happily loaf around on the sofa being very chill. They are brilliant with kids but not recommended if you own a cat as they have a strong prey drive. They also should be kept on the lead in local parks. They prefer to be around other sight-hounds (well my one does) and there are loads of local sighthound owners in Peckham, Crystal Palace etc and a very lively WhatsApp group that is brilliant if you need dog sitting as you can usually find someone to do that for free in return for you looking after the dog at a later date etc.
    • @Jenijenjen I assure you we are always polite and friendly too! Which is why the behaviour we have been receiving is so frustrating. The kids always leave her with a “Thank you have a lovely day”  Our concern is leaving the gate slightly wedged doesn’t stop the action of slamming it open and closed…still leading to damage  
    • If you're talking about who I think you are, I find them more exuberant than rude and usually smiling and polite. But then, I'm usually smiling and polite to them. Can you not wedge open your gate when you're expecting them?
    • It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face.
