Join Clare Paterson, as she talks about her wonderful book, Mr Horniman’s Walrus, which explores the rise and fall of the remarkable and dysfunctional Horniman family, including Frederick, who created the Horniman Museum, and Annie, a theatrical impresario responsible for founding Ireland's national theatre, the Abbey.
Drawing on her years of research and unfettered access to the family archive, Mr Horniman's Walrus unpicks the lives of this fascinating family, including their slips from grace as well as their astounding achievements.
