Special guests include Guyanese born, Doris Harper Wills who has travelled the world with her tales from Caribbean folklore, and Taffy Thomas from the Lake District who holds over 300 stories in his head. There are stories for both adults and children. Tuup and Wendy Shearer will be there – and super great kids will have a stall. Sadly, I won’t be there because I’m travelling in Europe. The gathering takes place in London at St. John’s Church near Waterloo Station.
