Join us at Kenilworth Library this half term for some exciting seasonal stories with master storyteller Jason Buck. Tuesday 29th October 11am Suitable for primary school aged children. About Jason Buck Jason has been a performer most of his adult life, including gurning, comedy and sword swallowing, but his passion lies in stories – ‘there's nothing like getting lost in a story, the pictures in your head are better than film’. Jason has written and published seven illustrated collections of stories and has won prizes for his storytelling. A teller of tall tales, a weaver of whimsies and a fashioner of fables, Jason draws on traditional favourites and new ideas. His stories are told in the oldest and best ways – as live performances for modern audiences. As well as a global online audience, Jason has performed across the UK and mainland Europe, blending traditional and contemporary motifs, vocal sound effects and pure, unadulterated fantasy.
