‘SILVER’

7.00p.m. Thursday 14th June

ROPETACKLE ARTS CENTRE- SHOREHAM £8.00

Andrew Motion introduces his new book ‘Silver: Return to Treasure Island’, a sequel to Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic. Beautifully written, as you would expect from the former Poet Laureate, it follows the fortunes of Jim Hawkins’ son and his return to Treasure Island with the bewitching daughter of Long John Silver.

Really quite different to his other work, this is certain to be one of the novels of the year.

As well as talking about ‘Silver’ Andrew will also be reading some of his poetry.

Iain Banks was named one of the best British writers since 1945.

His first book ‘The Wasp Factory’ was greeted with a mixture of acclaim and controversy.

His new novel ‘Stonemouth’ is set in an estuary town north of Aberdeen. It can be beautiful on a sunny day. On a bleak one it can seem to offer little more than sea fog, gangsters, cheap drugs and a suspension bridge irresistable to suicides
