Calling all followers of folklore and fairytales!

If you love reading old stories told in new ways, and talking to your heart’s content about books with other like-minded souls, this reading group is for you.

Bring yourself, an open mind and a willingness to participate in the unpacking of some truly wonderful tales. Come with us as we step over the threshold and into the dark woods. Delights and terrors await. There may even be some guest authors in attendance… In 2024 Arianne invited Angela Slatter and Kate Forsythe to speak to the group!

To register your interest, please contact arianne@fullersbookshop.com.au
