Galloping about in Gamesley

Gamesley Library

18th August

haunted doors and walls and rooms...

our adventures began with haunted castles, a rainbow tree, toadstools, magic wells and the hollow walls of Sutton Scarsdale Hall and grew into exciting times for a princess and her monkey, a elf-maid, helpful eagles, terrifying dragons, an earth-bound, mud-buried, grumpy skeleton and the tasty delight of monkey fruit from the rainbow tree

who could resist a house like this?

The path to adventures

Through the wood of spooky trees

and through old Sandal Castle. 

Between the branches of the rainbow tree,

And the cold empty rooms of an abandoned hall.

Down the damp cold depths of a magic well.

And up the secret tunnels and into the haunted rooms 

of a haunted house.

Across the garden and heading home,

While a small ghost watches from the small window 

At the very top of the crumbling house,

Left behind again

precision work on an eagle-puppet

the princess' pet monkey

an excitable goblin
(they never quite get photographed!)

Skeleton Boy!

a flight of eagles

a thunder of dragons

elf-maiden

Thanks to all our Gamesley storymakers, puppeteers and artists

The Princess managed to avoid being photographed - if her agent would like to send a publicity shot in, we'd be pleased to display it!
