Showing and telling children's classical culture - from the Dark Side of the Catalogue

Last summer, I took part in a classical myth 'for' children Show and Tell in Cardiff and shared some responses via this blog on the things that came out of the day that bore in some way on my autism and classical myth work. I ended with this comment:

"Karen Pierce, who organised the show and tell, will be blogging on it. I'll link to her posting once it's out."

It's out! 

It's my pleasure to link to Karen's posting, on her Dark Side of the Catalogue blog. As illustrations, and to whet your appetite, here are two of the photos in the posting - which capture different aspects of the day. In one, one of the participants shares an artefact from her own mythical childhood. In the other, you'll see an eighteenth-century child's very personal inscription in a classical book.




Karen's posting also includes reflections on the kind of event that is able to happen thanks to lockdown, the Hay on Wye festival which took place online - with mythological content - this year.

Till the next Show and Tell..!
