The Bayeux Tapestry (sort of) : Sheffield Book Launch

Meet the creators of a wonderfully unusual illustrated book, where the Bayeux Tapestry meets the Hoppits and history takes another turn. Join Sheffield-based Hoppit Studios for the launch of The Bayeux Tapestry (sort of) , the first book by writer Denise Wrightson and writer/illustrator Vicky Platt. Inspired by the original Bayeux Tapestry, this beautifully illustrated book begins with history and then takes an unexpected turn, as the Hoppits find their way into the story and begin following events in their own rather different fashion. With 42 illustrations to colour and join into a paper tapestry nearly 12 metres long, it is a book for curious children and grown-ups alike. The evening will also celebrate a collaboration with local primary school pupils, whose colourful work is planned to form part of the launch display. Join us for a relaxed evening with a complimentary welcome drink and light refreshments. Meet the creators, discover the Hoppits and explore the book. Admission is fr
