A PROFESSIONAL storyteller held children rapt with traditional tales of mystery and intrigue.

Tricia George visited Bromley Road Infant School, St George's Road, Beckenham, to entertain pupils with a combination of storytelling and dance.

Ms George held multicultural dance workshops and told traditional Indian and Arabian folk tales.

The event formed part of the school's book week.

This also saw pupils dress up as their favourite storybook characters.

Headteacher Pat Goddard said: "It was a big success and has helped relaunch the school's refurbished library.

"Thanks to Parent Teacher Association fund- raising we have lots of new books for the children to enjoy."
