Malcolm Saville, Shropshire and a 1937 Mystery Agenda

This event launched our new series of Saville Café events for Society members. 

We discovered the truth about Malcolm Saville’s first visit to Shropshire, as author and Malcolm Saville Society co-founder Mark O’Hanlon delivered an entertaining, illustrated presentation, which shone a light on the reality of Malcolm Saville’s 1937 explorations!

Using rarely seen personal photographs from Malcolm Saville’s very own 1930s family scrapbook, participants witnessed the breath-taking scenery of Shropshire, as he first discovered it nearly 90 years ago.

We learned a lot more about Malcolm Saville, and witnessed the inspiration for his Lone Pine adventure series, six years before Mystery at Witchend was first published. There was an opportunity to have our own questions answered, after the main Zoom presentation.
