Through the looking glass. A short verse from Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll. I took this photo to celebrate National Storytelling Week, I feel the love of books and stories comes from childhood and this verse best describes that principle.
National Storytelling Week - Everyone loves narrative and storytelling - it's something about a story's beginning, middle and end that makes us feel more of a completeness and understanding of our own lives. As a writer I'm never happier than when I've composed a story and found someone who enjoys reading it!
National Storytelling Week is here to celebrate our most ancient art form of all. From retelling something that's happened in your day; reading a night time story to a child; or watching a plot unfold on TV - storytelling is a part of our own everyday lives and the entertainment we get from movies, programmes, plays and other powerful performances.
The events planned for the 132th National Storytelling week in 2013 are well underway to make sure that this years event is bigger and better than ever!
The Society for Storytelling was established in 1993 and their aim was to promote the ancient art of storytelling. The society is open to anyone with a love and passion for storytelling. Whether you are a storyteller or just someone who loves to listen to a well told tale! People from all over the UK get involved and it's an enriching experience of bonding and bringing people together.
