From the rugged tors of Dartmoor to the salt-swept shores of two coastlines, Devon is a county steeped in story. Its dramatic scenery, rich history, and deep-rooted folklore have sparked the imaginations of writers for centuries—whether they were born here or simply passing through.
In this inspiring and entertaining talk, author Simon Tozer takes you on a journey through the heart of Devon. Discover how the county’s landscapes and legends have shaped some of Britain’s most beloved works of fiction—from the eerie mystery of The Hound of the Baskervilles to the charm of War Horse, the wit of Agatha Christie, and even traces in the wizarding world of Harry Potter.
We’ll explore not only Devon’s influence on literary greats, but also the stories that lie beneath the surface—the myths, the memory, and the timeless pull of place.
Whether you’re a lover of books, local history, or simply enchanted by the Southwest, Moor Than Words is an invitation to see Devon through a storyteller’s eyes.
