Literary Lunch with Ruth Leigh

Join us on Tuesday, 29th April 2025, from 12:15 pm to 2:15 pm at The Old Bull Inn, Royston, for an inspiring Literary Lunch with author Ruth Leigh. Ruth will share insights from her latest book, "A Great Deal of Ingenuity," a captivating collection of short stories that illuminate the lives of overlooked characters from Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice.

Ruth's stories invite readers to explore the vibrant worlds of Meryton, Rosings Park, Pemberley, and Hunsford, revealing the unique perspectives of characters like Mr and Mrs Collins and the hopes of mousy Maria Lucas in her quest for love. These tales provide a fresh glimpse into Austen's universe, making it a delightful experience for fans of classic literature.
