From the Congo to Cornwall:A Geologist’s Journey from Fact to Fiction

Ken McKechnie is a geologist and novelist. For 35 years he explored some of world’s most remote regions, mining precious metals, gold and diamonds. His writing is inspired by the extraordinary men and women he worked with, and the rugged landscapes he worked in. His latest novel, The Boy in the Dark, is set in mid-nineteenth century Cornwall. His illustrated talk centres on the lives of Cornish miners illuminated by his own experience.
