Wordquest Devon

A section of short stories created in the writing workshops led by Clare George as part of her 'Imagine There's a Future' project for WordQuest Devon. Starting with a discussion of today’s plans for the National Park, participants were transported to 2084, where they were presented a short history of how those plans worked out. Participants then worked together and separately to create their own stories set in that imagined future.... Featuring works recorded in:- Ashburton by Alan Grant, Dani Redd, Graham Burchell, Janet Sharp, Margaret Bradshaw, Sara Hurley and Susanna Lash. Chagford by Douglas Young, Erica Loram, James Paxman, Laurence Shelly, Lunar Hine, Peter Villiers and Phil De Burlet. and in Tavistock by Ann Pulsford, Jack Walker, Jan Robinson and Peggy Salmon.
