The Friends of the Walker Memorial Book Club meets the second Wednesday of the month at 2 pm.  We will be meeting at the Community Center in the Pine Room.  If you are interested in joining, please send an email to [email protected].  This months selection is “A World Only Lit by Fire” by William Manchester.  You can request a copy of the book from the library.

Book Synopsis:

From tales of chivalrous knights to the barbarity of trial by ordeal, no era has been a greater source of awe, horror, and wonder than the Middle Ages. In handsomely crafted prose, and with the grace and authority of his extraordinary gift for narrative history, William Manchester leads us from a civilization tottering on the brink of collapse to the grandeur of its rebirth – the dense explosion of energy that spawned some of history’s greatest poets, philosophers, painters, adventurers, and reformers, as well as some of its most spectacular villains – the Renaissance.
