Telling Tales at The Wellington Literary Festival

On the first weekend of October I was lucky enough to be invited to take part in The Wellington Literary Festival Children's Day. I was pleased to agree and soon found out that actually I was the headline act!

I was thrilled when I arrived at the venue. A completely newly built library with the most wonderful children's area full of comfy cushions, hidey holes and a stage made from giant books.

Through the day, using a mixture of well know stories alongside my own tales and poems, I took my audience on a real adventure. We went down on the farm, aboard a pirate ship, to fairy tale castles and went in search of our perfect pets, often helped along by trusty ukulele Wylie.

There was was a man called Sue, And he worked in a scruffy old zoo. He mainly ate slop Which he bought from a shop, Then he met a lady called Stu.


The afternoon was rounded off with a trip to the funeverse, a place that I usually in habit with 9 other nonsensical poets like myself. On this occasion myself an my audience entered the limerick laboratory where we mixed up our rhymes to see what brand new poetry concoctions we could create. 
So thanks for having me Wellington library, I had amazing fun I hope you did too.
