National Story Telling Week<br />
It’s National Story Telling Week from 27 January to 3<br />
February, although the fun spills over for a few days<br />
either side of the dates. Everyone loves a story and<br />
when you find the right book you’ll love reading too<br />
- and then maybe writing. We all have our favourite<br />
authors - Julia Donaldson, Roald Dahl and Michael<br />
Morpurgo are some of the most read. Julia Donaldson<br />
has written 204 children’s books, while Roald Dahl<br />
wrote 49 for children and adults. Michael Morpurgo has<br />
written over 120 books, mostly for children. Enid Blyton<br />
wrote 762 adventure, mystery and fantasy books for<br />
children between 1922 and 1968. Remember it is better<br />
to write one good story than lots of terrible stories – but<br />
practice makes perfect!<br />
Tell me a Story<br />
Terri Howey tells a story or two and as<br />
good story teller she aims to tell you<br />
something that you’ll love to listen<br />
to. There will be a problem, some<br />
interesting characters, possibly an<br />
adventure, love, suspense or fear and<br />
one or two the events.<br />
She has an incredible ability to<br />
communicate and express the<br />
message of a story often slightly<br />
adapting it according to the reactions<br />
of her audience. Stories can be told<br />
through all sorts of mediums but Terri<br />
is a performer where her listeners<br />
will become totally absorbed. It’s her<br />
movements, facial expressions, range<br />
of accents - before you know it the<br />
journey has begun.<br />
Terri has an amazing 500 plus stories<br />
in her head and where, as a dyslexic,<br />
writing may be slightly harder she<br />
can certainly tell a story! She believes<br />
the dyslexia means she sees the<br />
world slightly differently, taking in<br />
what is going on around her and<br />
remembering it.<br />
Because of her love of stories Terri<br />
is studying for a PhD in which she<br />
has been researching local stories<br />
and heritage. If you would like to<br />
hear more about her and her stories<br />
she will be presenting as part of the<br />
Stony Words week. Go to What’s<br />
