SUMMARY:CANCELLED 'ROSE\, CASTLE & CROWN' Author Talk with Patrick Crowley
DESCRIPTION:Rose\, Castle and Crown is a unique history of the part-time soldier of Hampshire and the Isle of Wight\, from the time of the militia\, yeomanry and volunteer\, through to the Territorial Army and today’s Army Reserve. This is all placed in the wider context of the British Army’s history. For centuries\, the country has defended its shores with a mixture of regular and auxiliary soldiers\, but little has been written about the latter\, particularly in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. All military volunteers\, throughout history\, have had to balance the requirement of their service with family demands and their main civilian employment. This book tells their story\, including: \n\nThe three brothers in the Isle of Wight Rifles who were all killed on the same day in Gallipoli 1915\, inspiring the film ‘Saving Private Ryan’.\nThe local Militia who destroyed a French invasion on the Isle of Wight in 1545.\nThe 4\,000 Isle of Wight men volunteered to join the Home Guard at the start of the Second World War\nThe local mayor who\, with the support of local militia and some sailors\, captured Carisbrooke Castle in the English Civil War.\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n. \n  \n

SUMMARY:'PAGE OF SAIL' with authors Katie Daysh and J.D. Davies
DESCRIPTION:Katie Daysh is an author from the Isle of Wight who loves to explore unheard voices in fiction. In her main genre\, historical fiction\, she enjoys placing queer characters at the heart of the narrative. Her stories are often set on the sea and illuminate themes of friendship\, loyalty and mental health issues. Her debut novel\, the Age of Sail adventure ‘Leeward’ was a Times historical novel of the year 2023\, best-selling author Conn Iggulden described it as ‘An extraordinary work\, absolutely breathtaking … it beggars belief’. \nJ. D. Davies is an historian and author. Born in in Llanelli on the coast of south-west Wales\, a treacherous coast notorious for shipwrecks\, the sea has always exerted a strong pull on his life and a fascination with warships and naval history can probably be dated to a family holiday in Portsmouth. He found that very little had been published about the seventeenth century navy since the 1920s\, and that most of the books that did exist seemed to side unthinkingly with Samuel Pepys\, accepting uncritically his opinions and evidence about the issues of the time. He has written factual books about the period and has now started a series of naval fiction also set in the time of Charles II and the Anglo-Dutch Wars.
