Magic, Mischief & Bogles, Inside the Bannockburn Book Launch! The Beastly Bogles have been unleashed! The launch of The Beastly Bogles Save Bannockburn House at Bannockburn Library was a truly spellbinding event. It was filled with magic, mischief, and marvellous young minds.
A Green Witch, a Cauldron, and a Story to Tell
To celebrate the release of the book, I fully embraced the magic of the Bogles—dressed as a green witch! With my flowing green dress, foliage-and-flower headdress, staff, lantern, and a cauldron flickering with ‘flames,’ I was ready to bring the story to life. And what an audience I had!
Two fantastic groups of schoolchildren, one from St Mary’s Primary and the other from Bannockburn Primary, joined me for an interactive reading and performance. The moment I began, their eyes widened with excitement, and soon they were gasping, giggling, and eager to take part in the magic of the story.
An Interactive Adventure
This wasn’t just any reading—it was an immersive experience! The children helped whisper spells, acted out parts of the adventure, and even helped the Bogles on their daring mission. Their boundless enthusiasm made the story jump off the pages, turning the event into a lively, magical experience.
It was a joy to see how much they connected with the story and the history behind it. The Beastly Bogles Save Bannockburn House is all about mystery, adventure, and a touch of Scottish folklore, and there’s no better way to experience it than in the very place that inspired it!
A Huge Thank You!
I’m so grateful to Bannockburn Library for hosting this fantastic event, to the team at Bannockburn House for their support, and most of all, to the incredible young readers who made the launch so special.
