Tall Tales are two storytellers/writers who provide a high quality storytelling service in Newport and Torfaen schools, Wales. We offer a diverse range of programmes to suit the needs of primary and secondary schools.
Both storytellers have extensive teaching experience and work closely with advisers and schools when devising programmes which are entertaining, stimulating and thought provoking to both pupils and teachers alike.
Although we tell a comprehensive range of age appropriate myths, legends, folk and wonder tales from around the world we add to our repertoire on a weekly basis.
In an ongoing commitment to expanding the body of folk tales available in English, Tall Tales also translate and have published 'Tales from Denmark – oral tradition revisited' (Available from Tall Tales).
Tall Tales are members of Academi (the Welsh National Literature Promotion Agency and Society for Authors) and its Writers On Tour scheme, which allows Academi to contribute up to 50% of the costs of appropriate events organised and mounted in Wales. Visit Academi’s website.
Both storytellers have had all the appropriate police record checks.
