Author Evening Ursula Franklin and Hazel Prior - St. Neots

Join us for a peng-tastic evening with wildlife photographer Ursula Clare Franklin and author Hazel Prior to discuss the adventures that inspired their books Mission Penguin & Gone With the Penguins!

They’ll be answering your questions and signing books at the end of the talk.
Please note that this event will take place at St. Mary's Church in St. Neots. Tickets are available online or in store.

Featuring breathtaking photographs of the world’s 18 species of penguin, Mission Penguin takes you to many of the most remote places on earth, from the Falkland and Galápagos Islands to the Antipodes Islands and Tristan da Cunha.
Following the loss of her husband, Ursula Clare Franklin embarked on a personal mission to see and photograph every species of penguin in their natural habitats. The result is a remarkable showcase of penguins – hundreds of striking photographs accompanied by engaging text that details the penguins’ features and characteristics. Each chapter explores a new penguin species and details Ursula’s spectacular journey to see and photograph these much-loved birds.

Gone With the Penguins features the still fiery and feisty at eighty-seven, Veronica McCreedy. The very first Penguin Ambassador is determined to prove that nothing is impossible when you put your mind to it.

Eileen, Veronica’s ever-patient assistant, is content taking care of other people. But when a new adventure calls, it makes her question everything...

Ten-year-old, penguin-obsessed Daisy can’t wait to be reunited with Mrs McCreedy in her huge house by the sea for the school holidays.

When they discover that the local Sea Life Centre is under threat, the unlikely trio are determined to save it and the penguins that live there.

Inspired by the penguins and fuelled by Darjeeling tea and finger sandwiches, they embark on an epic fundraising walk. But soon, their mission becomes so much more and it might just lead each of them to a new beginning...
