An introduction - I'm a storyteller, author and environmentalist living in Devon, England. I seek out and share stories that connect us to the natural world.

If you want to get a monthly email with details of all my storytelling events, then sign up to my email list - website link in bio.

Cranmere Pool, #Dartmoor. The folk tale says Cranmere Benji was banished to this desolate place, doomed to impossible tasks. But healing is beginning, thanks to South West Peatland Partnership. Let's see action from landowners & commoners to restore #peat.

Have you listened to the #audiobook of English Folk Tales of Coast and Sea yet? It begins with our Beltane Border Morris Tom singing...

From Ushant to Scilly ’tis thirty-five leagues ...

Thank you to everyone I've worked with over the last year, sharing stories and inspiration and energy for a more nature-rich place.

I hope you have a very merry and heartening Midwinter, and you can walk forward into 2025 with the holly at your back and the strength of the oak ahead.

Hello! Here's me:
I work with myth, legend, folk tale, historical & new stories, told directly to others in the storytelling tradition.
I'm an ecologist, and I use stories of land and sea to explore our connections with nature. I've written books about this.
I'm based on Dartmoor, SW England.
