Where: Tinyville Library, Caledon Tanglewood,

Folklorist Afsenah Metaluna will guide us in a new exploration each month; with illustrative stories and her own commentary she'll expose to our understanding some facet of the rich and varied folklore of the British Isles.

Her lectures and tales feature brave heroics and wonder tales from the Celtic regions, Welsh lore including the tales of Arthur and Merlin, stories of the wise and the uncanny from Scotland, and folklore from England comprised of local legends that combine references to beliefs and customs and aspects of daily life, particularly rural life (as well as the English ballads and broadsides, which have a strong tradition of their own.)

This month, she'll tell us tales of transformations and enchanted spouses. Join us to hear stories that turn princes into swans and wives into seals, as well as legends of  lovers who come and go in the dark, and all manner of supernatural sweethearts.

gentlebeings, your servant
