Sadly storytelling and reading seems to be of less interest to the younger generations these days they seem to prefer watching a video over actually reading, but I still try and make the time when I spend time with my Grandkids to either read books or make up my own stories with them which they seem to enjoy but suggesting they actually read a book themselves seems such a shocking idea to them
Thanks for a great and thought-provoking post
Thank you very much. I agree that it has become a lost art, particularly in the age of the sound-bite, short attention spans, and instant gratification. I was really happy with one of the local "living history" museums held storytelling time last autumn, where I took these pictures. It was a really good time to slow down and chat.
I always hope that times will change and return to as it was but sadly I doubt that will happen, but I still enjoy reading paper books even though on the train its easier just to read books on my Tablet and not carry books
I do like the sound of living history Museums
