A propos de l’auteur

Cath is an experienced storyteller and workshop leader. She learnt a love of folklore and stories as a small child and as an adult she told stories to her own children; as a teacher, she worked with children through story and for many years she has enjoyed telling stories to adult audiences. Her repertoire is largely based on tradition and folk tales, and she revels in sourcing stories, making them her own and passing them on so that her audiences can love them as much as she does. She is co-host of a storytelling club in Lichfield for adults, but she also loves to bring the experience of being involved in story to the very young, to primary aged children and those with special needs.
