Description One of the world’s best known writers, T.S. Eliot was a passionate advocate of The London Library, joining it in 1918 and serving as its President for 13 years until his death in January 1965. That summer, some of the country’s leading actors came together in a special performance to celebrate Eliot’s life and raise funds for the Library he loved. Now, 50 years on, a special evening of readings from T.S. Eliot’s work will commemorate that performance and his achievements.
