In Production

Wonderland
Many of the great writers who created Wonderlands in books for children, also shaped Christmas as we know it today. Their concerns go beyond celebration and include the underlying tragedies of their lives. It is awareness of exile, from home, from self and of memory and loss that marks the work of these wonderful writers.
 
John Maynard Keynes
John Maynard Keynes: The Public and Private Life of the Great Economist – A comprehensive examination of the life and ideas of Keynes in the context of the current crisis – a crisis equally as great as those faced by him in his work during the Depression of the 1930’s and the post-war economic settlement of 1944.
