  Storytelling during Book Week - at the Lanes Shopping Centre, CarlisleYou might be surprised at the wide range of venues and audiences that have heard Jean's storytelling.

Indoors at schools, libraries, homes, churches, shopping areas, town halls and village halls, and outdoors at  country parks and in gardens she is at home, happy to tell tales wherever someone is ready to listen.

At the drop of a hat she can conjure up stories from her Magic Story Sack where children choose an object like the snake, or a wooden bowl, or a frog, and hear the story linked to it.

Whether you want a one-off story, or a series of talks, simply book Jean for your event and forget about it. Capability, experience and reliability are assured. Look at our photo gallery and read the feedback from former clients for more information.

With her vast experience of primary education (and full CRB clearance), Jean offers a flexible programme that can be tailored to your needs. Options include:

Travellers' Tales

Stories old and new from around the world - folk tales and legends; stories of myth, mystery and magic. Dip into into the traveller's story sack and hear the tale.

Stories for all sorts of people and situations

Ancient Adventures

Ideal for History projects and theme days: meet the tricksters from Egypt, the heroes from Greece and warriors from the Viking world as they face challenges, puzzles and danger.
