"Singeing the King of Spain's Beard" A Talk by Phillip St Lawrence

Philip St Lawrence penned his first book upon Sir Francis Drake at a very young age. Bravado, charisma, and quick thinking resourcefulness mark out a leader often depicted unfairly. This is the story of Drake's forays at Lisbon, Lagos and the Azores. Above all Philip depicts the tension and drama of Drake's audacious attack actually in the harbour at Cadiz as England woke up to the threat of the Spanish Armada - an epic, thrilling tale!
