Storytelling has existed as long as humanity has had language. It's the world of myth, of history, of the imagination...it explains life. Every culture has its stories, legends, and every culture has its storytellers, often revered figures with the magic of the tale in their voices and minds. Shonaleigh is such a person.
As one of the foremost Tellers on the British scene. She travels globally, drawing on her Yiddish, English and European Culture. She enables you to enter a world of image and music with breathtaking vividness. A modern day Shaharazad.

| Spent the day working in schools in Liverpool and talking about WW2.... one of the best questions I have ever been asked from a lad in the infants today..... on hearing my Nan was in the camps he asked with huge wide eyes "Miss Miss did your Nan ever meet Hitler" .... I replied that no she didn't but would certainly have slapped the back of his legs and given him a piece of her mind if she had done. | |

| Aside from normal news, from now on we will have a (relatively) daily diary too!. Life from a story tellers standpoint. | |

Lost in Translation!  The fate of the kingdom lies in the hands of two men. Can Jakov and Pardesi put aside their differences and reach the magical city of Lutz, a place where men forget who they are?.  From the shade of the pomegranate tree, their road trip takes them to the door of a Rabbi in need of a sugar rush, to a swami who alters destiny, and to a demon who outstays his welcome. |
