Probably right. But as the Borg say "irrelevant". It's quite an interesting topic - not just the Mudcat, the whole business of knowing where when and how to protect children.

I remember when the magnificent storyteller from Clare, Eddie Lenihan was over in Sidmouth one year the booked him into a storytelling session for children in the library.

He let rip, as he does - blood and gore and cannibalism and everything. The kids were goggle-eyed, and loved it. I heard a worried mum asking the librarian "Do they check what these stories are going to be like?"

What kids need protecting from isn't stuff like that, or stuff like us. It's the stuff that is put out for them by people who are trying to sell things, and trying to turn them into future compliant customers.

The storyteller Dan Keding who sometimes drops in here has some good angles on adjusting stories for children.
