Last Saturday, Nov 14, I attended A Celebration of Stories at The Huntington in San Marino. There were activities around the garden such as a talk with Louisa May Alcott and Laura Ingalls Wilder and three actors performing Let Them Eat Books, a collection of classic literature & poems by Sandburg, Carroll and Twain  presented by The Music Center's We Tell Stories, a community of story-telling artists. They performed  The Jabberwocky with audience participation.

I had as much fun as the kids. My boyfriend, Shunji, who didn't know who Louisa May Alcott was or that she was being portrayed by an actress, was shocked when she said she was a nurse in the Civil War!!!
