EVERY self-respecting Somersetian should know their apples and when it comes to cider there’s no better guide than James Crowden.
So Winstone’s Hunting Raven Books is delighted to be hosting a special event with James on the evening of Friday 1st October at Frome Town Hall.
The book shop says, “Cider making has been at the heart of country life for hundreds of years. But the fascinating story of how this drink came into existence and why it became so deeply rooted in the nation’s psyche has never been told.
“In order to answer these questions, James Crowden – award-winning author and one of the UK’S foremost experts on cider – traces an elusive history stretching back to the ancient, myth-infused civilisations of the Mediterranean and the wild apple forests of Kazakhstan.
“Join us for a sparkling evening as James reveals all about the culture, craft and consumption of Somerset’s most iconic drink (and perhaps even treats us to a taste of the good stuff!)
“James’ book Cider Country: How an Ancient Craft Became a Way of Life will be available to buy on the night and James will be happy to sign copies. Tickets are £5 and can be redeemed against the price of the book on the night, making it the special price of £13.99 (RRP £18.99).”
