Project Overview
A local writer and artist, Marie Olofsdotter, will lead young writers in a workshop that explores the timeless territory of fairy tales and myths. Students will record the hair-raising adventures of a main character, the hero, who sets out on a magical journey to save a troubled kingdom and encounters a myriad of animals, villains, and mystical beings in the process. Participants will invent their own setting, characters, and plot. For ages 9 - 12 years.
