About this Event:

Former poet laureate Sir Andrew Motion discusses Silver, his eagerly awaited sequel to Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island. Silver is due to be published in April and picks up the story in 1802 at an inn run by Jim Hawkins and his son young Jim. Young Jim is visited by a mysterious girl called Natty who has a request from her father, Long John Silver. The pirate wants the pair to sail to Treasure Island in search of silver, and so the pair set off in the footsteps of their fathers to meet with some thrilling adventures.

Sir Andrew was poet laureate from 1999 until 2003. He is professor of creative writing at Royal Holloway, University of London, and was knighted for his services to literature in 2009. He has published many works of poetry, biography and fiction. His most recent works include The Cinder Path, a collection of poems; Ways of Life: On Places, Painters and Poets, a collection of essays; and In the Blood: A Memoir of my Childhood.
