Testimonials:

'Cat is one of our great storytellers, vivacious and inventive’ Michael Morpurgo

'Thank you for your boundless energy and enthusiasm. You made our Writing Week exciting, fun and thought provoking' 
Kington Primary School'

'I think Cat is the best storyteller in the world'
Cameron, Machynlleth CP School

‘Cat has left the children mesmerised by her storytelling. She brings humour and knowledge to everything she does. Brilliant! Fantastic! I really can’t enthuse over her enough.’
Carole Billingham, Swansea Library 

‘Cat has a wonderful ability to engage with children of all ages. She can be playing the Pied Piper and leading a pack of 3 year old ‘rats’ in one session before going onto thrill a group of teenagers with her ghost stories in the next. We would thoroughly recommend Cat and can’t wait for her to make a return visit to us! 
Hilary Youldon & Anne Houghton - Librarians, The King’s School, Gloucester

'The feedback forms were unanimous in their praise. Thank you!' 
The Roald Dahl Museum and Story Centre
