Another chapter in the Tale of Australia’s Folio in 2023!

It's love at first sight! 😍 Professor Ewan Fernie from the Shakespeare Institute at the University of Birmingham came to the Library to see two things: Australia's only-known copy of Shakespeare's First Folio and the intricate oak casket that it came with. Fernie has spoken to ABC Sydney and Guardian Australia about the little-known Shakespearean bond between Birmingham and Sydney. He'll also be presenting a FREE talk at the Library tonight, and there are still tickets left! 📚 A Tale of Two Folios 🗓️ Thursday 7 December ⏰ 6pm to 7pm Register for the event: https://ow.ly/Vpr550Qgeh0 Read the news story: https://ow.ly/9seG50Qgeh2 Listen to the ABC interview: https://ow.ly/gh7T50Qgeh1 [starts 37:11]
