Sarah's book is such a fascinating history of beautiful and mysterious orchids. Very much looking foward to her event and @harvardpress.bsky.social will be there selling her new book 💐 - ticket link ⬇️
Join us on Tues 18 Nov for an evening of mystery, botany & Victorian intrigue at the Linnean Society. In 1818, a strange orchid arrived in England...and vanished. @sbilston.bsky.social uncovers the tale of Cattleya labiata and the Linnean archives that helped crack the case.

🎧 @samfriedman.bsky.social was interviewed by @thetimes.com about his and @aaronreeves.bsky.social's new book, Born to Rule.
In the podcast, Sam explains that although we might think today's Britain is more meritocratic, the elites who run political, economic and cultural life are much the same.
