There is a great bustling in the book bags as we get ready for this event tomorrow. Gonna come? We've got chocolate claret cake to share ... I'm sure that would have blown Keats' taste-buds!

[Mike Sims @abosimian]

We’re back on! @KeatsHouse - John #Keats’ encounters with Wordsworth, Benjamin Robert Haydon, Isabella Jones, Coleridge, Thom Gunn and others. A winter’s night entertainment, inc claret cake.
