An Entertaining Evening with Michael Dobbs
Author of “House of Cards” & “Winston’s War”
Friday 25th November 2011
We are pleased to invite you, your friends and family to our dinner with guest speaker Lord Dobbs. Michael Dobbs sits on the Conservative benches in the House of Lords and has served as an advisor to both Thatcher and John Major.
However Michael is most recognised as the best-selling author of 17 books (his 18th is due for publication during 2011). His writing career began in 1989 with the publication of House of Cards, the first in what would become a trilogy of political thrillers featuring the infamous Francis Urquhart as the central character. House of Cards, was later adapted by BBC into a miniseries. The trilogy received a combined 14 BAFTA nominations and two BAFTA wins and was voted the 84th Best British Show in History.
His 2004 novel Winston’s War was shortlisted for the Channel 4 Political Book of the Year Award and is in development to be adapted as a feature film. He has been a judge of the Whitbread Book of the Year Award and lectures at dozens of literary and fundraising events each year. Dobbs is now a full time writer.
