It’s World Storytelling Day, so for those who don’t normally bury their noses in a good book, take a few moments to enjoy a cuppa and ginger nut and enjoy some of those literary greats who can spin a yarn and allow us to lose ourselves in our imagination…
Whether you like a tale of intrigue and suspense, slushy chick lit, grisly crime, wizardry and magic, biographic insights or even the Mr Men adventures, books are a great way to escape and explore another world. Revel in the creativity of an author who may have penned one book of observations or feast on the riches of a prolific writer who pens a novel faster than you can say “read it”! Please take a few moments and tell us what floats your literary boat?
Currently reading: The Exodus Quest, Will Adams
Modern favourite: Bad Luck and Trouble, Lee Child
Classic tale: The Wife of Bath’s Prologue and Tale, Geoffrey Chaucer
As a child: The Tale of Peter Rabbit, Beatrix Potter
