Karen Eugenia Boreham: Official Autobiography Launch & Talk
​Dogberry & Finch Books is absolutely thrilled to be hosting the official book launch of Song out of Darkness, the autobiography of author and poet Karen Eugenia Boreham.

"In an age of increasing international insecurity, the concept of home becomes of still greater importance, as does our relationship with other races and cultures. This account of an American-born woman of Ukrainian extraction, married for 50 years to a Devon farmer, offers a small but entrancing vision of what unlikely meetings of culture, blood and tradition can produce.

This wise and spirited account of one woman’s life suggests how old traditions, transplanted, can become renewed and how brave life choices can generate creative outcomes. I read Karen’s story with the kind of quiet pleasure that only the truly authentic can deliver.”
– Salley Vickers

​Book Talk and Tea with Alan Lee: “The Hobbits Sketchbook”
Dogberry & Finch Books will be the official book stockist for this eagerly-awaited event organised by Friends of Chagford Library.
The Hobbit Sketchbook "celebrates in words and pictures the beautiful work that award-winning artist Alan Lee produced for J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit, and includes dozens of brand-new paintings and pencil drawings exploring the world of Bilbo Baggins. Since The Hobbit was first published in 1937; generations of readers have fallen under its spell.
That magic was reignited sixty years later, when Alan Lee was commissioned to produce a special illustrated edition, and his delicate pencil drawings and beautiful watercolour paintings have become for many the definitive vision of J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth. In this sumptuous, large-format hardback Alan Lee reveals in pictures and in words how he created these images, which would prove so powerful, matching perfectly with Tolkien's own vision, that they would eventually define the look of Peter Jackson's film adaptations and earn Alan a coveted Academy Award."
Tickets £5 available from Sally's Newsagents in Chagford or Eventbrite. Venue: Jubilee Hall, Chagford, TQ13 8DP
15 St James Street, Okehampton. EX20 1DJ
