About the storyteller:
Simon Brooks
New London, NH
Simon Brooks, an award winning British storyteller who has made New Hampshire his home, began spinning yarns in 1991 for school groups and families at youth hostels in the United Kingdom. In 2003 Simon became a children’s librarian and freelance storyteller in the Upper Valley. Simon likes to investigate, educate & fascinate with story, and he has recorded 5 CDs, four storytelling albums, and a retelling of the Epic of Gilgamesh, and has voiced numerous audio books. He is a published writer, poet, and photographer. Simon combines his passion for children’s literature and folklore to create fun programs, workshops, and keynotes for both children and adults. Simon’s always growing repertoire comes mainly from European folk and faerie tales, but also includes stories from other countries and cultures.
