SPRING STORIES, Tuesday, May 20th @ 7pm: "Finding Baba Yaga" Begins

 

Caledonia kicks off our Spring Stories with Jane Yolen's short verse novel Finding Baba Yaga, live in the Glen.  A young woman discovers the power to speak up and take control of her fate—a theme that has never been more timely than it is now…

"A harsh, controlling father. A quiescent mother. A house that feels like anything but a home. Natasha gathers the strength to leave, and comes upon a little house in the wood: A house that walks about on chicken feet and is inhabited by a fairy tale witch. In finding Baba Yaga, Natasha finds her voice, her power, herself.

"You think you know this story.
You do not."

Presented live on Stream.

THURSDAY November 3rd at 7pm: CURSED

    

"A Wish Is A Terrible Thing"
CURSED

Tonight is a selection of stories of the Cursed...

It's a prick of blood, the bite of an apple, the evil eye, a wedding ring or a pair of red shoes. Curses come in all shapes and sizes, and they can happen to anyone, not just those of us with unpopular stepparents... 

CASTLE CURSED
Poem by Jane Yolen
The Curse begins…

AS RED AS BLOOD, AS WHITE AS SNOW
by Christina Henry
Snow did not find him charming. When she looked into his dark, dark eyes she saw not the fizzy delight of charm but the flicker of a tongue through sharp teeth.

TROLL BRIDGE
by Neil Gaiman
When Jack was a young boy, his world was full of ghosts and ghouls, but one such monster--a ravenous and hideous troll--would haunt him long into manhood.

CASTLE WAKING
Poem by Jane Yolen
The Curse ends…
