Xanthe Gresham Knight is a world-renowned storyteller and award-winning author who puts her success down to working with 1000s of children locally, nationally and internationally. Whether you need an author/storyteller for a special event, tales to support the curriculum, or training for teachers, her interactive style will brighten the heart and feed the soul.
‘Every good story I tell has been honed by the children who have listened to them. I believe stories and songs inspire us to become the grown-ups this world needs. When a tale is told Eye to Eye, Mind to Mind and Heart to Heart we drink it in and can say with confidence, ‘The forest may be dark, but breadcrumbs and pearls mark my path. I am Queen and King of my own adventure, and I can get through. I just need to look after the plants, animals and travellers I meet on my way.
Shakespeare…the storyteller… an array of props… a fine narrative lucidity… one of the best instances of immersive theatre I’ve seen in ages

Treated to Greek Myths by Xanthe Gresham… The lights dimmed, our blankets warmed and an air of soporific contentment fell over the room.
Nancy Groves – The Independent
