Fantasy Faire ~ LitFest

The Literacy Festival is an important component of Fantasy Faire 2020. So much of our Fantasy is founded in myth, legend and story that paying tribute to those roots is natural. 
This year's LitFest is dedicated to Scheherazade, the character who brings together the collection of tales that make up the 1,001 Nights, and to the creators of those Tales, who are largely unknown. We'll be celebrating the anonymous creators behind these diverse works which shape the fantasy of Arabian, Persian, Indian and Chinese culture.



I attended a wonderful reading of the Poetry of Persia and India presented by
Aoife Lorefield and Catori Mistwalker ...








... who read poems Scherazade herself would have loved by Rumi, Hafiz, Tagore, and more. 




The poetry reading was followed by a dance. People tend to think of those who promote literacy and story as serious and stodgy, but I know from long experience that those serious library folk know how to party!
