CHILDREN are to get the chance to take part in a fun workshop as part of National Storytelling Week.

Peter Barron, Editor of The Northern Echo and children's author, will be at Crown Street Library in Darlington between 10.30am and 11.30am this Saturday.

The event is suitable for primary age children who will be given a reading of Black-toothed Ruth Black, from Peter's Monstrous Morals series.

They will then get chance to help create a new story and draw illustrations with the help of Monstrous Morals illustrator Paul Wick.

For further information or to join the library's regular story-telling club, please call 01325 462034.
