#1 bestselling author of "The Devil in the White City" and "Dead Wake," Erik Larson delivers a fresh and compelling portrait of Winston Churchill and London during the Blitz. In "The Splendid and the Vile," Erik Larson shows, in cinematic detail, how Churchill taught the British people the "art of being fearless." Drawing on diaries, original archival documents, and once-secret intelligence reports, Larson provides a new lens on London's darkest year through the day-to-day experience of Churchill and his family. "The Splendid and the Vile" takes readers to a time of true leadership, when, in the face of unrelenting horror, Churchill's eloquence, courage, and perseverance bound a country, and a family, together.
Tickets are general admission. Seating will be offered on a first come, first served basis. Call 314-994-3300 for more information.

The proceeds from this event will benefit the Library Foundation's literacy programs.
