Saturday, December 6, 2025 The King's General
“The world has always turned its back upon misfortune."
The King's General
Our annual Christmas in Cornwall Luncheon (held in Dallas, Texas rather than Fowey, unfortunately) will feature Professor Margaret Mitchell who will travel to Dallas to do an in-depth analysis of The King's General, a classic historical novel which explores the passionate love between Honor Harris and Richard Grenvile during the English Civil War. In a tale woven with tragedy and hope, Daphne du Maurier captures the essence of loyalty amid chaos. Not to be missed!
