Helen East (Story Teller)

Storytelling for Bellan House Nursery and Key Stage 1 Children

Helen is a well known storyteller and uses tales drawn from her experience growing up in Colombo, England, Norway, Nigeria, Italy, Iceland and Ireland.

Helen is also well known as a writer; her current publications include children’s pictures books and a novel co-written with children.

However, the majority of Helen's time is spent "simply storytelling" for anyone and everyone, from presidential parties to pensioners to pre-schoolers, children with learning difficulties to educationalists, urban youth to families on forest walks.

"Listening to her made me realize what a very great art storytelling is."
Mrs. (President ) Mubarek
