Historian Elliot Engel is returning to Kennett Square on Saturday, Nov. 7, to give his 16th Hadley Fund lecture. This year he'll be talking about "The History and Mystery of Wine": "Dr. Engel will trace the phenomenal ancient origins of wine and continue the story through the wide and often wild popularity of wine today."
You may recall that last year Dr. Engel explained to us how Charles Dickens' "Christmas Carol" changed the modern conception of Christmas -- as well as the greeting card and publishing industries.
Professor Engel is an excellent speaker, with the impeccable timing of a stand-up comedian. He is also very popular, so I suggest getting to the talk early. It will start at 3 p.m. at Kennett Friends Meeting. As with all Hadley Fund programs, admission is free.
