In a time before your time and before my time there was a princess. She lived, as princesses do, in a palace with her father the King and her mother the Queen. She could have anything she wanted, she simply had to click her fingers, servants would appear and she could ask for anything!

What would you ask for? ...

Ø For over 20 years, Christine has entertained, intrigued and inspired people of all ages and abilities with her large repertoire of traditional and contemporary stories. Whether in schools, performance spaces, libraries or museums, in stately homes in Britain or at festivals worldwide, Christine shares her inexhaustible enthusiasm for the world of tales, legends, myths and riddles.

Some of these come from her family’s roots in Ireland and Eastern Europe; some from Wales where she lives, and others she gathers on her world travels.


As well as performing for children and adults (including special needs students), she works with other specialists such as musicians and film animators, and delivers workshops in storytelling and performance skills. 

Festival appearances include Austin International Poetry Festival (Texas), Bath Literature Festival and Glastonbury Festival, where she has been a regular for fifteen years. 

In 2005 she toured around Brisbane (Australia) for the Arts Council of Queensland, in 2006 she visited Zurich International School, and in 2007 she performs at schools in Victoria (Australia).

In 2007 Christine is developing People in Places. In this artist-in-residence project for schools, stately homes, parks, woodlands, libraries, museums, arts and holiday centres, she combines her skills as a storyteller with those of a visual artist. 

Here you can explore any aspect of her work that interests you, and also enjoy the opening moments of some of her many tales. Follow the yellow panels!
