Thank you for the suggestions and comments. At the moment I am, alas, stuck on the UK side of the pond and any events I'm invited to will have to contribute at least to my expenses ... but I'll certainly give Scotland a whirl. It's not specifically a children's story, although there's no reason why children shouldn't be present, as I've said above - I know in libraries there can be a very wide range of ages present and it really wouldn't be suitable to anyone under the age of 6.

But I will consider all suggestions and take relevant action! And if there are any actual invitations out there - I'm still listening!
