Event: Merfolk tales from Trinidad and Tobago
Inspired by William Morris’s Mermaid design in the Works In Progress exhibition at the William Morris Gallery, Wendy has been invited to share some of her favourite fairymaid and merfolk tales from the folklore of Trinidad and Tobago. This is storytelling for adults so expect tales of aquatic hauntings, chilling curses and bewitched fishermen. There will also be a chance to put questions to Wendy, who is the author of two forthcoming books for children and adults on Caribbean folktales (published by Scholastic and History Press respectively).
