Last week, Becky Mushko, author of Ferradiddledumday, and her illustrator, Bruce Rae, launched the publication of their new book with a pair of a dramatic readings of said work. The global premier was on Tuesday, January 26th, at the Franklin County Library in Rocky Mount. On Thursday, January 28th, the pair gave another spirited performance at the Westlake Library.
The crowd got into the reading, er, performance, and laughed in all the right places.
The Lake Writers at Smith Mountain Lake and the Valley Writers of Roanoke (a chapter of the Virginia Writers Club) are rightfully proud on this publication. We all thank Cedar Creek Publishing for seeing the worth of this retelling of the Grimm Brothers tale of Rumplestiltzkin and bringing the work to light.
And now for the last shameless plug for a while: buy the book, buy the book, buy the book. I bought two and will buy more for presents.
Thanks for the shameless plug, Betsy!

ReplyDeleteBoth Becky and Bruce are wonderful hams. Yes, they are having way too much fun. And the audience response was terrific. They will be taking the show on the road over the next few months.
