Yesterday (31 May) the Lithuanian Embassy in London hosted an online launch for my recently published book Pagans in the Early Modern Baltic. The Lithuanian Ambassador to the United Kingdom, HE Renatas Norkus, recorded a message welcoming participants before Dr Pavel Horák hosted the event. I gave an introduction to the book, exploring some of its main themes, before Prof. Vytautas Ališauskas of Vilnius University responded with his reflections on the book, followed by Dr Toms Ķencis of the University of Latvia. There was then an opportunity for me to respond to questions sent in by listeners. The launch produced an interesting discussion, and it is my hope that it marks a new development in the study of Baltic religion beyond the Baltic states.
I am very grateful to the Lithuanian Embassy for hosting this event, to the academic participants and to all who attended online.

I am glad that this book has been published, and I respect the amount of work that you’ve done in order for the book to be better available to English speakers interested in the subject. That being said, why is the cost of the physical copy of the book the same as the ePub? The cost makes it significantly inaccessible to those of us on a limited budget.
Thank you for your interest. There will be a significantly more affordable paperback version appearing within about six months, if you can wait that long
