What joy! Nobody who turned up seemed to want to do Creative Writing [which was sad] but they were ALL up for listening to stories, which was GREAT! And such listeners they were! Still when required and responsive as needed. They guessed the riddle and they worked out what was going to happen next when I wanted them to - and didn't when I didn't!
I told: The Tailor's Three Sons; The Little Red Hen and the Sultan's Diamond Button [a long way after Christobel Thomas]; The King and the Moon [reasonably faithfully after Taffy Thomas - who is no relation to Christobel, and is a great storyteller to be found on Google]; The Golden Bird [like The Tailor's Three Sons a story to be found in the Brothers Grimm, but I do stuff with it... and import details from the Russian version]; finally, [also to be found in Grimm under the title The Devil's Three Hairs, but again, I do stuff with it] The Lucky Boy.
There WILL be snapshots!
