from Peace Is Here with Avis Kalfsbeek · host Avis Kalfsbeek
Kitty Reads Holiday Lit for Peace: Anthony Trollope – Christmas at Thompson Hall plus The Next Peacelands This episode features a short reading from Anthony Trollope’s 1876 holiday comedy Christmas at Thompson Hall—a story full of winter travel mishaps, sharp observation, and the small dramas that arise when families try to reach home in the busiest season of the year. Kitty reads just enough to reveal Trollope’s signature blend of social insight and quiet humor. Kitty O’Compost continues warming up for The Peace Experiments (Season Zero), the forthcoming Peace Is Here series exploring peace, AI, and the cultural commons. For this special holiday edition of The Next Peacelands, Avis Kalfsbeek changes her focus from the factual grounding of warzones and arms suppliers to highlight the spiritual organizations and networks actively building peace around the world.
