About Me:: I like telling stories because it takes my listeners and I on a journey together – a journey that enlivens the senses, that wets the appetite, that stimulates the mind. Our journey may take us on a magical adventure or to familiar places. Where ever it takes us, the ups and downs, twists and turns impart a sense of wonder and is never boring.

I mainly tell tales from my native Scotland although I enjoy Celtic tales generally. I love listening to all kinds of stories! In this technological age it is really important to preserve the oral tradition. Teaching children to be storytellers is one of my favourite activities.

Thanks for the comment. Looking forward to seeing you in Dundee too - we will be in the Botanics again - but hopefully it'll be open this time!
It's a shame you won't be here on the 7th June - we're having a family storytelling day.

As you pherhaps already know, I am comming to Stavanger, to tell. It is in april...
will I see you?

At 7:12pm on February 6, 2009, Mark Harandon said…: Hi Emma! Yes it's certainly a wonderful place... only trouble is it's so far away from everywhere! Still, I wouldn't swop it, especially when the sun sets against the granite walls and the sea is lit up. You can imagine anything. Just got back from a pub telling and what a great feeling, to give people back their own stories!

I saw your comment about Cornwall on Jill's page and am delighted to find a Scottish/Cornish connection. I too love the Arthurian tales, as well as other Celtic tales from down here and beyond, including the old Cornish tales. I agree about teaching storytelling...and children light up with it, don't they?

Thanks for your welcome!

I find it amazing that the way stories for telling are structured so that they are almost instantly memorisable by the audience. (is that a word?) I'd love to be able to create a tale that would spread so easily.

We teach kids to write stories on www.kidsonthenet.com I'm wondering whether we could get them telling stories as podcasts, or videos or whether storytelling only works in person. Any thoughts?

I am thrilled that you enjoy teaching children to be storytellers. You may want to join the Youth, Educators, and Storytellers Alliance on Professional Storyteller.

Since you have joined the Celtic Storytellers group, you have met Dave and Carol Sharp. You will definitely have much to share.

Until we tell again,

Rachel Hedman
