A Life in Poems By Ruth Padel

Many readers will already be aware that 2009 marks 200 years since Charles Darwin’s birth and the 150 years since the Origin of Species was published.

A Life in Poems By Ruth Padel His great-great grand-daughter Ruth Padel has written an account of his life in poems, and she’s speaking tonight at Dinoasur Isle.

She’s written an excellent book on tiger conservation, Tigers in Red Weather (there’s a copy in the IW library system) which explains the link with the IW Zoo who arranged for her to come here.

The event starts at 1930 tonight, with doors open from 1900, and it’s free.
