Yale University Press writes, “if you would like to hear the story of 'A Little History of the World' [by E.H. Gombrich] first-hand, please join us at Blackwell's, Broad Street, Oxford to hear Philip Pullman in conversation with Leonie Gombrich (Gombrich's grand-daughter) and a reading by his grandson, Carl.” The YUP site has the event marked for Wednesday 15th December, while today's Oxford Mail anticipated it for the 14th. www.blackwells.co.uk, strangely, don't have anything at all to say about it.
