And so, they set out on a perilous journey to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tracscotland.org\/scottish-storytelling-centre\/courses-workshops\/exhibitions\">Scottish Storytelling Centre<\/a>, which was the perfect place to hold the exhibition. Luckily, the good people at the Scottish Storytelling Centre agreed that an exhibition was a brilliant idea and so everyone scurried around busily making preparations.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.florisbooks.co.uk\/book\/Theresa-Breslin\/Dragon+Stoorworm\/9781782501176\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1436\" src=\"http:\/\/www.florisbooks.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/MatthewTheresa.jpg\" alt=\"MatthewTheresa\" width=\"200\" height=\"267\" \/><\/a>The day came for the launch of the exhibition, for which a great party had been planned.
