FREE 'drop in' workshops | Suitable for 5+

Fun and playful storytelling workshops based on the themes in the British Library’s Animal Tales exhibition

Share your stories about animals and the language used to speak to different creatures

I speak the language of moonlight to Peacocks.
I speak the language of fire to Tigers.
I speak the language of salamat to Chit Chats.
I speak the language of secrets to Cobras.

The workshops will be led by Francesca Beard who grew up on a tropical island, surrounded by sea eagles, house lizards, sleeping king cobras and a fighting cockerel for a pet. Her best friend was Fluffy, a Malaysian jungle mongrel. Now, she is a poet who performs all over the world. She loves to work with other people in order to make poems and stories.
