Can you share some memorable River Stories from the Reading on Thames Festival?

Perhaps there are stories of the unique cultural performances that happened during the Reading on Thames Festival. These could include local music, dance, or theater shows that were inspired by the river. The performers might have had their own personal stories related to their art and the river, like how growing up near the Thames influenced their creative works.

The story of the Thames Tunnel ghost is also quite interesting. The Thames Tunnel was a great engineering feat, but during its construction, many workers lost their lives. One of the ghosts said to haunt the tunnel is that of a young worker. He was crushed by falling rocks. His ghost has been seen wandering the dark corridors of the tunnel. People who have entered the tunnel at night have reported feeling a cold presence and hearing faint cries. It is as if his spirit is still in pain from the accident that took his life.

There are tales of a ghostly woman in white who haunts the banks of the Thames near certain old bridges. She is often seen on foggy nights, just standing there looking out over the water. Some believe she was a jilted lover who drowned herself in the river long ago, and now her spirit remains, forever sad and lost. The sight of her gives a chill to those who happen to pass by.

Sure. Once at a reading festival, there was a guy who dressed up as his favorite book character, a wizard. But his long beard kept getting caught in the pages of the books he was trying to show to others. It was hilarious as he struggled to free his beard and keep his composure while still promoting the book.

Sure. One memorable moment from my first reading glasses stories was when I put them on and read a book that I had been avoiding because the print was too small. It was such a relief to be able to read it effortlessly.

A well - known author was signing books at a reading festival. A young girl came up to him with a stack of his books and asked him to sign each one with a different quote from his books. The author started to do so, but as he was writing, he realized he couldn't remember all the quotes exactly. So he made up some really silly and funny 'quotes' that still made the girl very happy. It was a funny encounter that showed the author's charm and the girl's enthusiasm for his work.

Along the River During the Qingming Festival was a long scroll painting by Zhang Zeduan, a painter of the Northern Song Dynasty. It was a classic work of ancient Chinese painting. The painting depicted the bustling streets, markets, markets, harbors, pavilions, bridges, rivers, etc. in Bianjing, Tokyo (now Kaifeng City, Henan Province) during the Northern Song Dynasty. It vividly recreated the social life at that time. This painting was known as a miracle in the history of Chinese painting with its exquisite painting skills, unique style and profound expression. Its artistic value and historical value have been widely recognized and praised, and it is also an important part of Chinese culture. Through this painting, we can feel the social style, cultural atmosphere and various details of the people's lives in the Northern Song Dynasty. We can understand the economy, trade, culture and transportation at that time. It has important reference value for studying ancient Chinese society and history. At the same time, this painting also shows the superb level of Chinese painting art, and it also has a great enlightenment effect on our understanding and appreciation of painting art.

Sure. There was a Reading Festival held in an old, large hall. A man picked up a dusty book from a corner table. As he opened it, he saw some strange markings. Suddenly, he felt dizzy. When he looked up, the hall had transformed into a dark, spooky place filled with shadowy figures. He tried to run but his feet seemed glued. He managed to drop the book and then, everything went back to normal. But the fear lingered.

Sure. There's a story about a young man who was deeply involved in gang activities. But after getting involved with the community described in the book, he started to change. He went back to school and eventually became a positive influence on other young people in his neighborhood.

I'm sorry, without knowing the details of Solotouch Stories, I can't name any specific memorable characters.
