About the event

Michael Taylor @ Cuckfield Bookfest
Michael Taylor with Hermione Cockburn
Impossible Monsters, How the Discovery of Dinosaurs Changed
the World
1pm – 2pm

2025 marks the 200th anniversary of the confirmation of Gideon
Mantell’s discovery of the fossils of the Iguanodon dinosaurs in Cuckfield.

Impossible Monsters takes us into the lives and minds of the extraordinary men and women whose discovery of the dinosaurs revolutionised our understanding of the world, as well as those
who resisted them. It is the riveting story of a group of people who dared to think impossible things and then showed them to be true.

Sathnam Sanghera said of Impossible Monsters ‘… it dazzles in its originality … a triumph’.

Michael lectures in Modern British History at Balliol College, Oxford. He will be in discussion with Dr Hermione Cockburn who was brought up in Cuckfield and until recently was Scientific Director of Dynamic Earth in Edinburgh.
