Nature Tales: live storytelling and crafts with author Dawn Casey

FURTHER TICKETS NOW AVAILABLE - Please book for ALL attendees.

Join us from 4pm at the bookshop on 22^ndNovember for a live reading and craft event with Dawn Casey, author of Nature Tales, a collection of 18 folk tales, myths and age-old stories of animals, birds and plants from all around the world - from North America to Brazil, Ireland, Morocco, Finland, Mexico, Poland, Japan, Germany and Siberia. Retold by award-winning author Dawn Casey and with intricate artwork by Anja Sušanj.

Dawn will be performing an extra special reading of one of her heart-warming tales, The Apple Tree Man, as the lights are dimmed and illustrations come to life. With an apple-themed festive craft following, this event will be fun for the whole family. You’ll even have a chance to ask any burning questions and get your book signed.

“This beautiful collection of nature tales is just the ticket […] it’s sure to enchant and inspire children of all ages. Beautifully illustrated, it opens up the wonder of nature to young readers – the perfect antidote to the modern world, as well as a wonderful way to make memories that will last a lifetime.” – Woman & Home
