LICHEN Arts & Letters Preview was launched on May 19, 1999 by four Durham Region writers, Lucy Brennan, Rabindranath Maharaj, Gwynn Scheltema, and Ruth E. Walker.

The Neverending Tale*/**(ages 8 – 16)
The Neverending Tale is created by You. The Neverending Tale is for kids and kids-at-heart.It is a choose-your-own-path adventure story- like you might read in a book. But you can add to the tale where ever you like. Whatever you add will become part of the tale, anything you can think of. The tale will change and grow over time- as other kids like you follow your story and write new choices. You can see that it's not just a story, it's also a game.
