The author Norah C James has pretty much been forgotten now, but in 1929 she was front-page news when her first novel, Sleeveless Errand, was banned under the Obscene Publications Act. Norah was my grandfather’s first cousin – and I don’t know about you, but I think it’s pretty damn cool to be related to someone who wrote a banned book! So I’ve devised this talk (including a couple of songs) about her life and work, which I’ll be giving to the friends of Weymouth Library at 10.30 am on Saturday 3rd December. Do come along if you can! It’s open to all…..
