The Lake Champlain Waldorf School is hosting a visit from William Alexander, best-selling children's fantasy author of Goblin Secrets and Ghoulish Songs. On Monday evening, from 7-9 p.m. at 359 Turtle Lane, Shelburne, Alexander will deliver an adult-oriented public lecture on the power of fantasy to create personal and social change. Don’t miss this glimpse into a writer’s vision of how imagination can and does change the world. The lecture is $5 at the door.
