Description
From devils and druids to timeless tors, join artist Alex Murdin and writer Sophie Pierce for an evening exploring the magic and mystery of Dartmoor. Their new book, Rock Idols: a guide to Dartmoor in 28 tors, is thought to be the first illustrated guide to Dartmoor in about a century, with new, original drawings of these mysterious monoliths. Sophie and Alex will share their adventures exploring the tors, as well as some of the fascinating folklore, geology and history of Dartmoor. They will show Alex's new drawings of the tors, as well as intriguing Victorian etchings of some of Dartmoor's most famous features including Scorhill Stone Circle and the Dewerstone.
The evening is being jointly hosted with the Eastgate Bookshop, who will be selling books on the night. Doors open at 19:15.
