The Magical Reality of David Almond’s North

Where do the stories come from that run through places?

What magic exists and can’t be seen?

On this walking tour, visitors will encounter David’s sketches and notes from the archive held by Seven Stories, see magical sights and make their own sense of what it means to explore Magical Reality.

The tour starts near Seven Stories, the National Centre for Children’s Books and continues along the Ouseburn tow path. Download the app for free here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.digitalcultures.magicalReality
