About the event

Lucy Locket lost her pocket,

Kitty Fisher found it,

Not a penny was there in it,

But a ribbon 'round it.


Remembered in a nursery rhyme, Kitty Fisher was the eighteenth century's 'it girl,' a courtesan who found overnight fame after a riding accident on The Mall. However, she found that her celebrity was a double-edged sword. In this entertaining talk, Kitty's biographer, Joanne Major, will reveal the woman behind the myth and legend.


Tickets are free via Bracebridge Heath Community Library.
