Marc Fennell: Stuff the British Stole
In conversation with Rachel Mealey
11am–12pm, Sunday 11 October, Parkside Marquee
When journalist Marc Fennell encountered a macabre music box in a museum, he set out to discover where it came from – and found himself on a madcap global quest to expose centuries of lies and looting by the British Empire. Fascinating, funny and ferociously entertaining, Stuff the British Stole expands on Fennell’s hit podcast and TV show of the same name, taking readers on an international adventure to reveal the hidden stories – and uncomfortable truths – behind some of the world’s most celebrated museum artefacts.
