Draper joined The Sam Steen Show via Zoom on RTL Today Radio ahead of the event, where she spoke about her fascination with overlooked figures from history and why she prefers telling stories beyond the familiar tales of kings and queens.

Taking place on Monday 17 February at 18:30 at the Cercle Cité Auditorium, the talk will explore the remarkable lives featured in Draper’s debut book, which shines a light on unusual characters whose stories often sit outside traditional history books.
