Madison Historical Society and RJ Julia host book event

     The Madison Historical Society and R.J. Julia Booksellers will celebrate National Handwriting Day on Thursday, January 23 at 7 pm, when Kitty Burns Florey, author of The Writing Master will visit the historical society's Allis-Bushnell House at 853 Boston Post Road in Madison. The author thoroughly researched 19th century history to write The Writing Master and will discuss how she used this research to write her novel. The book's main character is a master penman, and the book deals extensively with handwriting.  Kitty will bring a master calligrapher with her who will demonstrate the elegant script of 19th century New England. There is no charge for the event, but pre-registration is required.  Please call R.J. Julia at 203-245-3959 for more information.
