Family Storytelling- The William Morris Society

Sunday February 2nd Family storytelling inspired by the revolutionary textile designer, poet, novelist, translator, and socialist activist William Morris.

Content: William Morris’ literary work was heavily influenced by his explorations of Iceland, and includes a series of English-language translations of Icelandic Sagas. Written over 700 years ago, these tales still shape Icelandic identity today. In them, we follow Viking explorers as they battle unearthly storms and fight for limited resources. Sharpened over countless fireside retellings, these stories cut to the core of human existence. These Icelandic sagas have now been adapted for young ears and hearts. No wonder they have lasted so long, who wouldn’t want to hear tales of bears, trolls and battles of the high seas? So get comfortable, get warm and snuggle up to hear the epic tales that inspired so much of William Morris’ life.
