Date: Wednesday 18 May 2022

Organiser: Barchester Flowerdown Care Home

We invite you to a virtual live event with Graham Whitlock to discuss his book, The Crystal Palace Chronicles!

What if the past became your future? Join teenager Joe on a rollercoaster adventure travelling back in time to the heyday of Victorian Crystal Palace. Joe's world is turned upside down when he discovers a shattered compass among the brambles where the Crystal Palace once stood and time travels through the maze back to 1888. With help from the teenage H. G. Wells and Samuel Coleridge Taylor, daredevil Iris Blondin, the creator of Sherlock Holmes and the Queen of the Gypsies, Joe must foil dangerous diamond thieves to uncover dark secrets. Will Joe be trapped in the past with his new friends, find a way to return to his family or can he somehow have both?

We’ll be talking to Graham about his book to celebrate International Museum Day!
