The Festival Of Storytellers
Boasting, lying, deceiving, all the things we strive to stop our children from doing, but have to listen to our leading politicians doing every day. But there is always a different slant to every so called truth, so it is a relief to learn about two regions that actually celebrate and reward the fine art of lying. Or, ?massaging the truth for maximum effect.' The French have always had much to boast about, and the Liars Festival in Mancrabeau has been going strong since the heady days of 1748. Included is a Liars Circuit around the town, well signposted, and even an Academy of Liars. The Academy welcomes "Liars, boasters, storytellers and other idle persons expert in the art of untruthfulness." I don't know if I like, as a children's author and storyteller, to be lumped in with such unsavoury characters as these, but I suppose the line between storytelling and lying is murky at best. On the first Sunday of August locals congregate in front of 40 Academy officials and lie through their teeth to them. The finest fibber is then crowed (King Liar I suppose) and shown to his Liars Throne where he sits and lauds it over everyone. Never to be outdone by the French, the British get together every November for the Worlds Biggest Liar competition, held in Cumbria at the Bridge Inn, Santon Bridge. A claim that the Lake District was in fact formed by foraging moles and eels and not, as was otherwise believed, by glacial action, earned the recent respect of judges, while the event itself was started in the 19th century by renowned local fibber/storyteller/confabulation-ist, publican William Ritson. These events are diluted a little because everyone knows that everyone else is lying, so no regardless how believable the story is everyone knows it isn't true. Far better real life, when politicians get together, especially before elections, and proudly give their version of how things are while never dropping eye to eye contact with their ever gullible electorate. Besides, Truth is a slippery sucker, and changes according to culture, climate, mood, era, whether told by the winner or the loser and is likely to change from day to day. They have made me re-think, these events that celebrate liars. Downright lies from the past have over time become the truth. I can fly, I can swim to the bottom of the sea, one day we'll go into space. Today's stories, today's lies, could be tomorrows well known truths. On that note, I have the secret to living the life you will love. Seriously, I have. It is such a simple truth few people ever do it even when they know and understand it. And you would think that anyone who had the secret of life at their fingertips would charge a small fortune - no, a HUGE fortune - for it, but I wont. I don't charge a thing, because knowing isn't enough. We still have to DO it. I suppose some will read this simple truth and say ?Eureka', that's it!' and go off and have great lives. For others it'll be ?that's a load of old rubbish that is.' They will go away getting what they've always got, while studiously doing what they've always done - while complaining about it the whole time. And that's all fine and as it should be. At least by not charging for this service I cant be accused of ripping anyone off, although there will be some who will still call me a big storyteller (if they're polite). If you?d like to receive the secret to living a great life, then come and visit our online creative studio at: http://www.chocmint.com where you?ll find all my contact details. I am a children?s author and schools presenter, going around running workshops on creative writing (or perhaps creative lying!), memory and self-esteem. I also have fun travelling with Dave McCleery around schools. Dave is an illustrator and cartoonist and chief collaborator. I live in Albany, Western Australia with my lovely wife Paula, two teenage wonderkids Gareth and Sian, one scatty border collie and two funky cats. And, I LOVE my life!
