From
the Wise Men of Chelm to the Marx Brothers, every culture tells stories
of roistering pranksters, inspired fools, and sage dunderheads. Join
noted storyteller, Gilbert Sapwood, for an hour of tales of clowns and
counsellors, grave philosophers and witless numbskulls...and ask, with us, who is to
say which is really which? .
The session will be streamed live from the Great Lawn of the Jack & Elaine Whitehorn Memorial Library, in Caledon VictoriaCity. Following the performance, Gilbert will answer questions regarding traditional tales and the art of storytelling, as time permits.

March Book of the Month at the Caledon Library:
The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling
Sun, March 30th, 2 - 4pm slt
Jack & Elaine Whitehorn memorial Library, Caledon VictoriaCity
http://slurl.com/secondlife
Possibly Kipling's best-known, and likely his most widely adapted, work, the Jungle Book is full of the author's nostalgia for the India he knew as a child -- a place which, if it never existed in the real world, existed so vividly in his imagination it has captivated generations of readers since. The work is also rich with allegory, and the sly, exuberant wit of Kipling's verse.
All Readers of Tales (Critterly and Otherwise) fans of Kipling, and literary schmoozers are welcome to join us, as are likewise all Subtle Panthers, Feral-Child Heros, Fearsome Tigers, Sly Snakes, and courageous Mongeese (Mongooses?) whether they have read the work or not -- and everyone is invited to attend in their Furred, Finned, Scaled, or Feathered best!
Copies of the work may be had at the Whitehorn Library in Caledon VictoriaCity,
or found online at
