About The Event
Historian and broadcaster, Gareth Russell, will explore the life and loves of Britain’s first King. James Stuart did not always love wisely, but he never failed to do so boldly. This groundbreaking book puts James – genius, liar, spendthrift, idealist, witch-hunter – and the men he loved at the centre of one of the most dramatic stories in British royal history.
‘A warts and all story told with compassion’ – Philippa Gregory
This event will include an audience Q&A and after the event there will be an opportunity to get your book signed by Gareth.
