Get ready for an afternoon of discovery where every stroke of a pen tells a story as two renowned historians have the handwriting of their subjects read, revealing secrets perhaps even they didn’t know themselves !

A Unique Look into Character
This event is led by renowned graphologist Emma Bach, an expert in handwriting analysis. She’s joined by two acclaimed authors who have brought history to life through their words: historian Felice Hardy, author of The Tennis Champion Who Escaped the Nazis, and New York Times bestselling author Frances Liardet, celebrated for her novel We Must Be Brave.

In a captivating on-stage demonstration, Emma will analyze the handwriting of historical figures featured in the authors’ books, revealing hidden insights into their character and motivations. But the analysis won’t stop there. Attendees will also get a rare glimpse into the personalities behind the page as Emma assesses the authors’ own handwriting.
This is your chance to see a powerful demonstration of how the small details of our script can reveal so much about who we are. It’s an unforgettable experience that blends literature, history, and the fascinating science of graphology.
Don’t miss out on this extraordinary event. Book your ticket for The Hand of History and uncover the stories written in script.
