DESCRIPTION
“The Horseman” is Tim’s ninth novel and is the first in a trilogy. It follows the story of Leo, a 12 year old boy who lives on the Devon-Somerset border and whose family is employed on the local country estate. The novel describes in luminous detail the everyday life of the working-class men and women who support the estate – farm labourers, kitchen maids, stable boys. The detail is carefully and tenderly recounted, but there is a brutal sting in the tail.

DESCRIPTION
Tom has written 15 books, most recently “Villager” and the topic of today’s talk, “Everything Will Swallow You”. The story is about the unusual friendship of Eric and Carl, the power of landscape and dusty objects, used records, and the joy of accepting the unusual. Stephen Fry called Cox “one of the most enchanting (not to say hilarious) writers around”. Tom Cox lives in Devon with his wife, three cats and a large, boisterous crow.
