[Book Launch] "Shooting Of The Cuckoo" by Jan Madden
Shooting Of The Cuckoo by Jan Madden
Jan Madden says: “I’m thrilled to invite you to the official launch of my new book, Shooting of the Cuckoo, on Saturday 27th September 2025 at the beautiful Ucheldre Holyhead, Holyhead, North Wales.
This story is deeply personal and has been years in the making -and I can’t wait to share it with you in the place that means so much to me. Please join me for an afternoon of stories, conversation, and celebration in the heart of North Wales. All are welcome! “
Professor David Crystal, OBE, FBA, FLSW, FCIL remarks: ““They say there’s an autobiography in everyone, waiting to be written; but few have the skill to put pen to paper – literally, in this case – to produce such a moving and compelling story. Jan’s remarkable memory for detail and incident, recounted in this gentle and affectionate narrative, brings to life warm recollections of her family, friends, loves, neighbours, students, and colleagues, and – spoiler alert – reports surprising meetings with two household names. She paints a vivid picture of life and times growing up in Britain in the middle decades of the 20th century, of her later travels through several counties of England and Wales, and of her often eventful global encounters and travels. All this, infused with insightful reflections on writing and teaching, makes for a fascinating read.”
