Join award-winning author, Ally Sherrick on a trip through time to discover the places and events that inspired her World War II, Suffolk-set adventure, The Buried Crown.
It is 80 years since the real-life Anglo-Saxon ship burial and all its priceless treasures were discovered at Sutton Hoo near Woodbridge.
During this session Ally will reveal how she wove her story of young wartime evacuee hero George Penny, his friend Spud the dog, and German-Jewish refugee Kitty Regenbogen with the discovery of the Sutton Hoo treasures.
The session offers lots of participation, including the chance for the audience to help Ally create the start of a brand new treasure story, and there’ll be time for you to ask questions after. 
We are delighted that several local schools have set up book groups to read The Buried Crown this year.
