Library Talks l Mazed Tales Website Launch

Our next Library talk will be with Mazed Tales, as they launch their new website. This will take place in the Reading Room from 2pm-3pm on Wednesday 4th February.

The corners of Cornwall are full of magic, piskeys on the moors, spriggans on the tors, giants throwing stones, and witches stewing bones. Enchanting tales once told by wandering droll tellers now fill a digital hoard.

Join storyteller and Mazed lead Sue Field and web designer Nick Harpley for the launch of the brand new Mazed website, a comprehensive guide to the traditional tales of Cornwall, linking tales to places and the people that told them.

We will use the site’s digital map to travel in the footsteps of giants, easily navigate the collection of over 150 retellings of old tales and use a mixture of telling and reading of webtales to bring a selection of the stories to life.

The pages on tale collectors will be introduced by Mazed puppets of William Bottrell and Robert Hunt, folklorists who both went to Penzance Grammar school.

Prepare to be entranced/spellbound… and aMazed!
