Description:
In a playful, material and embodied way, drawing from themes in the novel Lud-in-the-Mist (a forgotten classic by Hope Mirrlees), participants of An Alternative Book Club helped co-create an expanded version of the book to be inserted into the library and the Merton Heritage and local studies centre. Join us for the launch of this special, extended edition! About Lud-in-the-Mist: An adult fairy tale written in 1926, exploring what happens when magic (fairy fruit) begins to find its way back into a well ordered, rigid society that banned it. A reminder of the importance of creativity, embracing change, play, connection and balance.
