PROFESSIONAL storyteller and children’s author John Harris talked to children at Turton and Edgworth Primary School.
Mr Harris visited each class to tell his stories and a selection from his books, which were also available to buy.
School governor Sandra Glancy said: “Within minutes, John’s warm, natural manner and his engaging style of questioning had created a close relationship with his audience.
“He then proceeded to reveal his amazing talent for storytelling.
“The audience became totally spellbound as a result of his skilful vocal intonation, vivid descriptive imagery and his amazing ability to provide dramatic intensity by suddenly adopting the persona of the key characters. John concluded his session by sharing some of his creative writing tips with his enthralled audience.”
