This week is National Storytelling Week.
It’s a week running from 27 January – 3 February, and celebrates the tradition of “oral storytelling, the very first way of communicating life experiences and the creative imagination.”
And we’re all about unleashing creativity and creative imagination!
It’s a bit tricky to write about oral story telling – but maybe we’ll do a Facebook Live sharing our favourite stories…
Until then, here are our 6 favourite illustrations from literature…
