Pandora and the Story Forge
Pandora is an explorer, a collector of words (even the ones that misbehave) and a forger of stories. Come into her magical world and you’ll never see words in quite the same way again.
Discover the extraordinary world of Pandora, friend to all story-starved children. Adorer of brave and beautiful words, Pandora roams across the world finding new and unusual ones. Returning home she weaves and forges them into the most amazing books. It is only then the magic happens: once read, the story unfurls in each child’s heart. Then they too become weavers and forgers of tales.
