Milton Keynes author seeks junior crafters to bring forgotten English folktales to life
A local author and folktale enthusiast is bringing her passion to schools across Milton Keynes with a free craft project.
Chloe Middleton-Metcalfe, the Stony Stratford author of the upcoming book Traditional English Folk and Fairy Tales for Children, is taking a free storytelling and craft project into Early Years classes around Milton Keynes.
Children will have the opportunity to help create a scenic backdrop that will be used in storytelling sessions up and down the country. The offer includes an engaging storytelling session complete with live harp music, and props.
Families will be able to see the completed background at Traditional English Folk and Fairy Tales, a free event at Stony Stratford Library on Saturday, January 30.
The show will also launch the book’s crowdfunder campaign to help secure the 200 advance sales needed to pay for linocut illustrations by talented artist Laura Kemp-Smyth.
