The Open Pages series at UPEI’s Robertson Library welcomes John Cousins to discuss his book New London: The Lost Dream. The event is Wednesday, November 16 at 7 pm, in the second floor common area of the Robertson Library.

New London: The Lost Dream tells the true story of brave Quakers from London, England who settled along PEI’s north shore in 1773. This book is an excellent recreation of how some of the Island’s first European settlers arrived, survived, and occasionally thrived in the “new world.”

New London: The Lost Dream is published by Island Studies Press at UPEI. For more details, see “Recent Titles” at http://projects.upei.ca/isp/.

Open Pages features local authors speaking about their books: what inspired them, what they learned, and what they shared. The public is warmly invited to this evening, which takes place in the common area on the second floor of the UPEI Robertson Library. Light refreshments will be served, and books will be for sale and signing by the author.

For more information, contact Joan Sinclair at Island Studies Press at ispstaff@upei.ca, or Simon Lloyd in the Robertson Library, slloyd@upei.ca.
