About this event

Have you ever heard the tale of the ‘Hairy Sessimite’? No? Now you can and other Mayan Stories.

What is it like to be a child growing up in the jungles of Central America? Have you ever heard the tale of the ‘Hairy Sessimite’ or wondered about Ancient Temples hidden in the jungle surrounded by mystic waterfalls? Come and hear about these and more at this family friendly tale telling session with real life explorer Charlotte Austwick.

The event will combine readings from Charlottes new book ‘ A Treasury of Mayan Tales’ written and illustrated with the help of a Mayan community in Belize. Plus, a chance to see Mayan artefacts and artwork up close.
