About Happy 130th birthday, Nan Shepherd
Artist Rose Strang has been commissioned by the Folio Society to provide paintings for their new illustrated edition of The Living Mountain. The paintings will be on display at the SPL from late January. Author Merryn Glover will discuss her new memoir The Hidden Fires-A Cairngorms Journey with Nan Shepherd (Birlinn). The book is published in March but will be exclusively available pre-publication at this event.
Joining them will be Kerri Andrews, author of A History of Women Walking and currently editing a volume of Nan’s letters for Edinburgh University Press (published later this year) and finally, Erlend Clouson, Nan’s friend and literary executor.
The evening will be chaired by mountaineer and author Anna Fleming, author of Time on Rock-A Climber’s Route into the Mountains (Canongate). The event will last 90 minutes with a 15 min interval.
