Finding Her Own Fairytale Ending
EDP Norfolk|March 2018

A scattering of silver coins lost for centuries, a grinning stone lion, and a doorknocker to the dreaded workhouse have unleashed crowds of characters from history, writes ROWAN MANTELL

Finding Her Own Fairytale Ending

ISABELLE KING wanted to be a writer but was not sure how to start – so she set up a series of events linking established authors with people like her. This spring her second book is published and she is writer in residence at Norwich Millennium Library.

Her latest collection of stories for children was inspired by Norfolk museums and the treasures they house. Once Upon a Time in Norfolk includes a story of Boudicca’s Britain and silver coins in Lynn Museum and another where a comic-looking carved lion from Norwich Castle helps conjure Norman Norfolk. A curious kitten travels through time in Thetford’s Ancient House and the daughters of two weavers are joined by a fairy flitting through Norwich’s Strangers Hall.
