The third session of the summer features "The Shackles of Truth" for ages 9 to 12. A search and rescue mission takes on monumental proportions when the Detectives encounter the Div of Zarathustrian mythology. The demons are up to no good, as usual, but it's not clear what that trouble is.

The Detectives set off on a journey to find the truth. The road leads to the palace of Darius I and then into the embattled realms of Ahura Mazda and Angra Mainyu, the battling gods of ancient Persian mythology.

Our activities this week include Rihla, books of travel that we will illuminate with handpainted miniatures. We will also be making Peri, tiny Persian fairies who bring luck and mischief to the humans they befriend.
