Fictionalising Historic Stratford
Ellie Stevenson
Based on research she undertook for her latest novel, Shadows of a Lost Poet, set in a fictional version of Stratford, Ellie will be talking about Victorian and Edwardian Stratford-upon-Avon and the history behind the novel.
The plot is centred on the house and gardens at Avonbank, between the theatre and the church, which was formerly the home of Charles and Sarah Flower, and subsequently Canon Melville and his wife Eleanor.
