The Angel, The Cad and The House: Wanstead Book Festival presents Geraldine Roberts and Hannah Armstrong
Friday 13 September at 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm
Next year marks 10 years since Geraldine Roberts’ book The Angel and the Cad revived a generation’s interest in the tragedy of Wanstead House. Historian Hannah Armstrong, author of Wanstead House: East London’s Lost Palace knows more about the building that was at the centre of the romance than anyone else. Join the two of them in this unique pairing as they discuss the underlying appeal of the tale and why the tragedy at the heart of Wanstead is still capable of moving emotions today.
