An Evening of Talks With Annie Atkins and Chris Haughton

Annie Atkins – Mastering the Art of Levitation
A look at how handmade documents—from paper film props to magic spells in children’s books—help elevate fictional worlds and make them feel lived in and emotionally real. The talk coincides with the release of Atkins’ new book Cackle Crackle: Letters from the Witch. With ten letters and spells to pull out and keep, this is a picture book about children looking for help and going to the first grown-ups they think of…witches.

Chris Haughton – The History of Information
A talk by illustrator, designer, and best-selling author Chris Haughton exploring the evolution of knowledge, communication, and information. The talk is based on Haughton’s debut non-fiction book The History of Information.

Followed by a drinks reception.
