Queen Mary's Dolls House at Windsor Castle - How Watson Learned the Trick. A Creative Writing Session
To celebrate National Writing Day this month we will join professional writer, Lynda Waterhouse, who will lead a 40 minute session taking us on a tour of Queen Mary’s Dolls House, a fascinating miniature house. We will be pausing awhile in the library to listen to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's short story 'How Watson Learned the Trick'. Using some of the objects found in the library, we will then, with Lynda’s help, create our own murder mystery story.
