A new exhibition at Keswick Museum celebrates the 250th anniversary of the birth of one of Keswick’s most famous characters – Poet Laureate and writer of the Three Bears tale Robert Southey.
Southey was a prolific and influential poet, essayist, historian, travel-writer and biographer who lived with his family at Greta Hall in Keswick from 1803 onwards. This new exhibition reveals the many different versions of the classic ‘Three Bears’ fairytale for which Southey became famous. From Goldilocks to Puss in Boots and everything in between, the exhibition explores what stories we tell when we reimagine classic tales.
