Join us Saturday, April 16, 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. (837 Willard St., Covington, KY, 41011), for a release party for Kara Gebhart Uhl and Elin Manon’s “Cadi & the Cursed Oak.” Kara will read an excerpt from the book, give a short talk and answer questions. You’ll get to view Elin’s beautiful illustrations on large screens, as well as some pictures of real-life objects from the Nannau oak, and scenes from the book.
“Cadi & the Cursed Oak” will be for sale, as well as the entire line of Lost Art Press tools and books. You can also check out some stick chairs, similar to the ones Cadi’s dad builds in the book. Kara’s generous friend (and excellent cook) will also be serving homemade Welsh cakes with preserves and lemon curd, Welsh rarebit, and drinks. Kids are welcome!
Tickets are limited; please click here to register.
I wish I could be there.
I wish you could be there too!
A wonderful book, in word and image and spirit.
Thank you!
It’s wonderful to see this photo of you with Cadi and the Cursed Oak. I loved Cadi’s story ultimately being about her living her own dream, defining and determining the future she will live into. Thanks for sharing your vision with all of us.
Thank you so much, Monroe
It’s a fantastic book. The only thing that would make it better is if I could be there to have it autographed.
That and having a pronunciation guide for the Welsh. So far I haven’t had to read it out loud, which good. According to Google Translate the only Welsh word I’ve managed to pronounce anything close to accurately is Mabinogion. I count that as a win.
We have an audio guide coming this weekend
Thank you! And yes, audio recordings of all the words and phrases by Dr Iwan Wyn Rees (who helped me with the pronunciation guide in the glossary and translations) will be posted soon!
