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 />
