Book Launch Announcement: A Man of Parts – George Sturt by Valerie Lewis

Written by Valerie Lewis, this compelling biography delves into the life and legacy of George Sturt, a notable yet often overlooked figure in Farnham’s literary history.

Sturt, whose experience in his father’s wheelwright business instilled a deep respect for craftsmanship and rural life, became an eloquent advocate for the values and struggles of those living in the face of industrialisation and enclosure. His writings reflect an intimate understanding of the world around him, earning him recognition as one of Farnham’s finest writers. This book is the first to comprehensively explore Sturt’s life and work, making it a vital addition to Farnham’s cultural and historical scholarship.
