My LLF event

Organising the event was not as difficult as I’d imagined - I can absolutely recommend downloading the ‘quick guide’ for running events and using it as a checklist.

LLF comment

We are very appreciative of the support from LLF. It allows our nursery, which is situated in a deprived area, greater access to live storyteller events than would otherwise be the case.

An absolutely superb talk - entertaining and most informative.
Well constructed and powerfully presented, congratulations to the skill of Billy Kay and his choice as speaker.
A talk I would love to hear again!

What a fantastic experience when James Roberston helped Balfron High School's creative writing group make modern day scottish Mr Men books. Who will forget Mrs Crabbit or Mr Mingin'? Certainly not the primary pupils who enjoyed being read to from the stories our pupils had designed, written and illustrated. Many thanks for your support.
