The Story Gallery at Hornsey Library

Daily between Tuesday 9 September 2014 and Friday 26 September 2014

The Story Gallery is a free 3-week event designed to encourage children and young people to engage enthusiastically with literature, art and lifelong learning.

Examples of the best in classic and contemporary children's book illustrations will be on display.

The event will feature material from the Picture This: Children's Illustrated Classics exhibit, which has been kindly donated by the British Library.

It features instantly recognisable images by Quentin Blake, Rudyard Kipling and Laura Childs from family favourites including:

• Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
• Paddington
• Just So Stories
• Peter Pan and many more

Also on display will be original artwork of some the UK's leading children's book illustrators.

Children and adults will enjoy a variety of spoken word and musical performances, exhibitions and fun creative workshops. Some of the UK's leading illustrators, writers and storytellers will treat visitors to the best that children's literature has to offer.

In order to encourage children to indulge their creativity to the fullest and showcase their literary, visual art and performing skills, there are activities, which will inspire them, broaden their horizons and allow them to shine.

Entrance to the exhibition is free and there are a limited number of free storytelling workshops, authors' talks and readings.
