Nigel Nicolson will share his childhood memories of Virginia Woolf at his home at Sissinghurst as well as his views based on the past research and family recollections of her. His recent Penguin biography, Virginia Woolf , is a personalized link to her life and work. Peter Miall , Curator of Charleston Farmhouse, will bring another point of view of the artists who painted at that site. There will be time for creature comforts. Free time is built into the itinerary and individual requests will be honored whenever possible.
Mealtimes are opportunities for discussing the reading, events and sights of the tour.
Conversations with literate travelers are interesting when they focus on reconsidered interpretations of the literary works.

She will provide insights and historical information about the Bloomsbury associations. Mary Lou White, Book Adventures President, will personally escort the group.
