‘The Natural Storyteller is testament to the grace, mystery and joy that have always animated our human relationships with the earth. The stories in Georgiana Keable’s brilliantly chosen collection welcome us back into that special space and place, in which hearts, minds and spirits know we truly belong.’—Dr Donald Smith, Director of the Scottish Storytelling Centre‘

'A wonderful and needed resource for children in today’s world.’—Laura Simms, leading US storyteller and author

‘To protect our planet, in this hour of chronic need, we have to completely re-imagine our relationship with the natural world and its wondrous diversity. Storytelling plays a crucial part in that healing process, especially for young people, as Georgiana Keable so beautifully and powerfully reveals in The Natural Storyteller.’—Jonathon Porritt CBE, Forum for the Future

'‘The book is life affirming. All of its stories are about taking delight in creation.'—Hugh Lupton, award-winning Storyteller
