"Fables, Fairytales & Rhymes" Virtual Event

Event Description:

Childhood stories are not the stuff of fantasy.  In ages past when illiteracy ran high, these fables and rhymes were the moral classroom where one learned all there was to know about truth, justice, faith, prejudice, love, sex, sin, crime and punishment--and what was really going on in the world around them socially, politically and morally--yes, real life.
In this lively 1-hour presentation, Lianne Harris turns the pages of these classic fairytales and Mother Goose Rhymes and illustrates how our behavior, attitudes, and values have been shaped individually and as a society by these seemingly innocent bedtime stories.
