While Churchill is most famously known for his role as Britain's wartime leader, he also won a Nobel prize for Literature, and painted over 539 canvasses which sell for in excess of one million pounds today at auction.
Mr. Barber details the full breadth of Winston Churchill's life accomplishments. As well, he will bring some of his extensive Churchilliana collection for the enjoyment of those in attendance.
