THE INAUGURAL Philippa Pearce Memorial Lecture took place in the Auditorium of the Mary Allan Building, Homerton College, Cambridge, at 5:00pm on Thursday 11th September 2008. At the event, there were three main presentations:
Victor Watson: Philippa Pearce - Word Perfect
David Wood: Taking Tom from Page to Stage
Julia Eccleshare: Time and Place: Shaping the Creative Landscape
Alongside the main talks there were several readings from Philippa Pearce’s books, by Samuel West. Additionally, in the college library, there was a small display of typescripts, illustrations and ephemera relating to Philippa Pearce's books.
We will post images of the event at this page soon and also hope to make audio recordings of the lectures available shortly.
