Tall Tales!

We all really enjoyed the stories Daniel Morden shared with us during his visit to us on Monday - they were fantastic! It was great to relax and be transported to another world full of mysterious happenings and colourful characters.
Why not come along to the library and read some myths and legends for yourself?
We would like to thank Daniel for joining us on such a snowy, frosty day and look forward to arranging a return visit soon.

Daniel Morden

On Monday 21 January, Daniel Morden wil be visiting our library to tell some stories to Year 7. Daniel has travelled the world as a professional storyteller. He says:
"When I was young, children could walk to school by themselves. Every day as I walked I would make up a story, about myself, or Spiderman, or the Viking God Thor, or some strange character I had invented. When I reached school, if I hadn't finished the story I would walk around the playground, muttering it under my breath. I had to know how the story ended, even though I was making it up."
In 2007 he won the Tir na n-Og Award for 'Dark Tales from the Woods'. His latest publication is 'Tree of Leaf and Flame', published by Pont Books in 2012.
We are really looking forward to hearing some great stories on Monday!
