A couple of great pints was the prelude to a great performance by the excellent Don't Go Into The Cellar Theatre's performance of some of Charles Dickens's spooky stories promoted by @scripthavenltd.bsky.social bookshop in the appropriately atmospheric Worcester Old Palace.
Thanks to all. 🙏🏼👏🏼

I’ve seen lots of posts promoting the National Year of Reading which is brilliant!
Not so brilliant is that there are some using AI-generated imagery which is disheartening.
Illustrations are really important when it comes to children wanting to pick up books. Let’s keep the industry thriving!
