A Storyteller's Book Club
online
Monday evenings
7.30pm (GMT)
Storytellers in conversation about books
which inspire the Oral Traditions
Wild about Story talks to storytellers about the books that have inspired, challenged or nourished them on their journey with story. Hosted by Tim Ralphs, guest tellers will be sharing their experiences of a chosen book and reflecting on how it has watered the roots of their work in the oral tradition. Questions from the audience will also be welcome.
It may add to the experience for audience members to have read the book in advance but it is not essential. Booking is essential, a Zoom invitation will be emailed the day before each event. Questions or comments about the books under discussion are invited, in advance or on the night. We love participants to be part of the conversation!
