Description

Whether you’re a teacher, parent, guardian or family member, the need to engage with and entertain the youngsters you care for is universal. Modern life makes access to entertainment easy, but what if there was another way – one that truly strengthened the bonds between you? For generations, humanity has practised the art of storytelling – a skill that you too can learn, enabling you to create magical tales that will shape those listening for years to come.

Perhaps it’s a group of restless children and you wish you could catch, hold and reward their attention? Perhaps it’s a long journey, or you want to get them off their screens? As you conjure a gripping story from thin air using the methods in this book, you’ll find that face-to-face engagement creates contentment, concentration and connection on your journey together through story.
About Giles Abbott
GILES ABBOTT graduated from Oxford with an English degree and four years later, in 1998, he could not see to read or recognise faces. He has lost 80% vision in a few hours. After a year of serious struggle he encountered traditional storytelling - he didn’t need to see it written! He began learning the art of the storyteller and started working as such. By 2005 he had also qualified as a Voice Teacher (MAVS, CSSD) and in addition to storytelling he now works in drama schools in London and teaches international clients to access their best speaking voice. He is a Voice Artist, recording and even winning Gold Medals for his work. He also creates new storytelling shows from traditional and historical/biographical sources, and for the last twenty years has created a new touring show every two years. He loves all his work!
