❄ THE STOLEN STORIES OF WINTERLIGHT ❄

Looking for a treat to do over the rest of the school holidays? The Stolen Stories of Winterlight is on until 4th January at Leeds Libraries - come and help us solve the mystery...

Can you imagine a world without stories?

Words are fading from books all over town and people are forgetting the stories they used to know off by heart.

Winterlight Festival is fast approaching when tales are told with family and friends. If all stories disappear and children can’t tell their own stories, their voices may be lost forever.

Newly qualified storymaker, Tan, sets off on an adventure of a lifetime to discover the mystery of these stolen stories. With her hapless new apprentice tagging along, will they ever find a way to work together and return the words to the pages in time for Winterlight?

Become submerged in strange and wondrous lands in this empowering tale reminding us that weaving all our stories, histories and cultures together creates the most beautiful pattern of all.
