The DULWICH LITERARY FESTIVAL, a
fantastic weekend of events to take place from Friday 16th- Sunday
18th October. The festival will include creative workshops, readings,
children's activities and a host of incredible authors including Kate
Mosse and Melvyn Bragg.
On SATURDAY 17TH OCTOBER there will be a whole day of activities for
children, with comic creative workshops and a dusk storytelling of an
incredible fantasy book. From 9.30am onwards, comic creators Gary
Northfield (Gary's Garden) and Jamie Littler (Cogg and Sprokit)
will be running creative workshops around THE PHOENIX, the magazine
the Guardian call "the best kids' comic," teaching children how to
draw their favourite cartoons.
The early evening, from 6.30pm features a special storytelling session
with renowned storyteller Vanessa Woolf to celebrate the publication
of The Secrets of the Wild Wood and THE LETTER FOR THE KING BY
TONKE DRAGT which was a TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR. The story revolves
around a young knight, Tiuri, as he travels through vast kingdoms and
woods to serve his King, encountering perils and danger, but also
making friends and gaining a loyal squire. The book has been compared
to Tolkien's adventures with the magic of Harry Potter in its pages
and with Vanessa's creativity, will make for an incredible,
adventurous evening for all children.
We'd love for you to be able to feature the event in your listings. If
you need any further details, please do let me know.
