Testimonials:

"Katy is a gifted and charismatic performer." 
Handel House Museum

"Fantastic storytelling!" 
The Oxford Story Museum

“It was great, it was superb, it was magical, it was enthralling and it took me back to when I was a small boy, cross legged and utterly absorbed in stories told at the end of the school day.”
Ilkley Literature Festival Blog

“Katy has a treasure chest full of stories into which she dips with great skill, weaving a narrative spell to hold her audience entranced and entertained." 
Librarian, secondary school

“All the stories were beautifully crafted and perfectly chosen for the age groups. The Perseus story (my own favourite) was captivating, totally absorbing and so fluently told - we loved it!”
Librarian, middle school
