Damsel in Distress

Event Phone: 082 552 4449

Griselda, aptly named after the original damsel in distress in Chaucer’s Canterbury tales, is a librarian who also lives in the library. She has not left the building in a long, long time.

Trapped by that dragon called fear she has long since traded life for the world of fiction. When faced with reality she opts out with “No thank you, I will rather just read my book. I might not be adventurous, but I am a librarian and I am proud of it!”

With the recent global lockdown, it is easy to identify with Griselda and her fear of the world outside.
