Stephenson Memorial Library in Greenfield hosted a “Legends and Lore” fair on Saturday to celebrate reading, storybooks and fantasy. Young participants learned about Dungeons and Dragons, created crafts, practiced their swordplay, took part in hobby horse jousting, sampled potions and were entertained with stories by Susie Spikol, author of “The Book of Fairies” and “Forest Magic for Kids.”
