It’s time once again for lovers of the spoken word to update their diaries for dates at the Seanchai Library SL, as storytellers there bring us a host of new tales to tell.
As always, all times SLT, and unless otherwise stated, events will be held on the Seanchai Library’s home on Imagination Island.

Monday April 15th, 19:00: Original Tales

Tuesday April 16th, 19:00: The Girl Who Married a Lion & Other Tales from Africa
Author Alexander McCall Smith (The No 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency) brings together a beguiling selection of folktales from Zimbabwe and the Setswana-speaking people of Botswana.
A girl discovers that her young husband might actually be a lion in disguise, but not before they have two sons who might actually be cubs; a child made of wax follows his curiosity outside into the heat of daylight and melts, only for his siblings shape him into a bird with feathers made of leaves that enable him to fly into the light; tales of talking hyenas and milk-giving birds; stories of clever cannibals who nonetheless get their comeuppance, and mysterious forces that reside in the landscape. Rhodesian-born Alexander McCall Smith brings together a rich variety of tales from traditional African lore, as re-told by Shandon Loring.
Wednesday, April 17th, 19:00: “His Hollywood” & more adventures with Polar Bear the Cat

Inara Pey: Living in a Modemworld 
The girl who married a lion? Hmmm… Why is it that just looking at the title makes me remember a song titled “Maybe I’m a Leo” (and then Mr. Gillan continues to say “… but I ain’t no lion”)?
