Without wanting to sound too like Stopford Brooke in 1889, it would be so wasteful to see such an important part of #LakeDistrict literary history lost to the public. Time for a C21st campaign like the C19th one our co-captain @pollyrowena.bsky.social researched: link.springer.com/chapter/10.1...

Thinking about the vast legacy of Mr Blake: to the Romantics, to us all, and then pondering how wonderful it would be to @saverydalmount.bsky.social ! (WB’s Soho home long gone!).

Swallows and Armenians – Chelsea Theatre
The truth behind a British children’s classic is revealed with the premiere of Swallows and Armenians at the Chelsea Theatre.

The actor-musician production by Karen Babayan is based on her book Swallows and Armenians, which she wrote after extensive research.
