Dear Kath, Love Ron: Letters 1937 to 1946 Edited by Mike Spathaky

Posted 17 October 2019 by Julie Goucher

The Guild heard recently from member Mike Spathaky that his book, Dear Kath, Love Ron – Letters 1937-1946 is to be published.

The book is the publication of the letters between his parents, during the period of 1937-1946 which is of course through the turbulence of the Second World War.

I have not personally read the book, but I have ordered one which I have paid for. Copies of the book can be ordered directly from Mike via the book website which is linked above and from Amazon.

For those in the UK within easy distance of Leicester, Mike is hosting a book signing in WH Smith bookshop on Saturday 19 October.  Here is what Mike had to say:

There will be a launch and book-signing session this Saturday, 19th October 2019, from 12.30. to 3.30. p.m. at WH Smith bookshop, Fosse Park, Leicester LE19 1HY. (Free parking and not far from the M1 and M69 junction.) Please come and support this event if you are at all near enough to Leicester. It will be really good to meet old friends and make new ones.

Mike has a fascinating One-Name Study, for the surname of Spathaky, which is a surname of Greek origins and one for the surname of Cree.

THIS IS A DEFAULT WIDGET WHICH SHOULD NOT DISPLAY. DO NOT DELETE THIS.
