About the Event
Welcome to our Avon on Tour film series. Together we are celebrating stories that began on the page and found new life on the screen. There’s something special about experiencing a beloved book reimagined through film, noticing what changes, what stays true, and how each medium brings its own magic to the story.
If you’d like to stick around after the screening, we will have an informal conversation to discuss both the book and the film.
