Max Adams, critically-acclaimed author of The King in the North and popular Explore tutor, is an archaeologist, traveller and writing coach. His journeys through the landscapes of the past and the present, of human geography, music, art and culture are a continuing source of inspiration in his writing.

At this public lecture, Max will talk about his new book Aelfred's Britain: War and Peace in the Viking Age - a companion volume to The King in the North and In the Land of Giants. Max will be available at the talk for book signing.

Friends of Explore are organising this event in aid of the Explore Lifelong Learning programme and will be providing canapés and drinks before the talk with a finger buffet afterwards.
