Mackenzie Crook | If Nick Drake Came to My House

Winter 2024

Award-winning actor, writer and creator of Detectorists and Worzel Gummidge, Mackenzie Crook, joins us with his first book for adults. If Nick Drake Came to My House is a heartfelt, whimsical love letter to his musical hero which explores the power of art to change our lives, expressed through an imaginary visit from the late, great singer-songwriter Nick Drake. Drake signed to Island Records at twenty while still a student at Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge University. Marking the 50th anniversary of his death, the book is both a celebration of his memory and a heart-warming reminder of the impact a person can have on others, though they might not realise it. Not to be missed. 

 In conversation with Tom Gatti, executive editor of the New Statesman
