More than a few of us grew up with the 
beautiful language of the King James Version of the Bible.  Mr. Nicolson writes books on history and the landscape. He was born in 1957, the son of the author Nigel 
Nicolson and grandson of Harold Nicolson and Vita Sackville-West.
Educated at Eton and Magdalene College, Cambridge, he has worked widely as a journalist (British Press Awards Feature Writer of the Year 1997, shortlist) and for many years wrote weekly columns in the Daily and Sunday Telegraph. He lives at Sissinghurst in Kent with his wife Sarah 
Raven and is the father of five children. He is a Fellow of the Royal 
Society of Literature and of the Society of Antiquaries in Scotland. Adam's latest book, Sissinghurst, An Unfinished History, won the 2009 Royal Society of Literature Ondaatje Prize. All are welcome to attend this free lecture.
