About Nick Dobson

Nick Dobson is a former professional Librarian. I have over 100 talks on a wide range of subjects from Shakespeare and Dickens to horticulture and from the First World War to Gilbert & Sullivan with most subjects in between! I speak to groups of all kinds, to schools and for Library services. I am willing to travel throughout London, Essex, Hertfordshire and parts of Kent. I will consider longer journeys on request. My talks are entertaining and informative and are not expensive.
