Seven Stories

Seven Stories - The National Centre for Children's Books in the United Kingdom is based in the Ouseburn Valley, Newcastle upon Tyne, close to the city's newly regenerated quayside. The centre takes its name from the theory that there are only seven basic plots in literature, and the fact that the renovated Victorian mill in which it is housed has seven levels.

Seven Stories is the first and only museum in the UK wholly dedicated to the art of British children’s books. Their archive is housed in a separate building in Felling.

It has a changing programme of ground breaking exhibitions aimed at both children and adults. Recognised as the National home for children’s literature, Seven Stories brings together original manuscripts and illustrations from some of the nation's best loved children’s books, to excite visitors in an exploration of creativity, literature and art.

Substantial original artwork and manuscripts has been donated to the centre and the collection continues to grow. Jacqueline Wilson, Terry Jones, Philip Pullman and Quentin Blake are among some of the centre's most distinguished patrons.

Seven Stories (band)

Seven Stories was an Australian rock group formed in Adelaide, initially as Tall Stories, in 1986. The band was nominated as 'Best New Talent' at the 1991 Australian Record Industry Association (ARIA) Awards and signed to Sony (then CBS Records), but disbanded in 1994 after its second full-length album release, Everything You Want (Nothing That You Need).

History

Andrew Tanner, Michael Boundy and Sue Oliver were prominent in music circles in Adelaide from the late 1970s. During this period they all contributed to recordings at the Good God recording studio run by Rod Boucher and Chris Adams.

In 1978 Tanner contributed drums and vocals to various Good God recordings, later moving to guitar in the band Retreads which produced a self-titled album in 1980. Boundy played bass guitar for bands, Thumbs Up and Retreads (with Tanner) before joining Perfect Strangers in 1980. In 1984 Tanner composed "Dreams and Visions", which became a banner song for the 1985 Uniting Church National Christian Youth Convention in Adelaide in 1985. "Dreams and Visions", a song about Pentecost, is still used by Australian congregations.
