What people say
Some kind words from people who have listened to my stories or taken part in my workshops.
“Betty is a natural teller, and is always at ease with herself and the story material she chooses.”
“Betty had her audience laughing with one story and tears with the next. She is very connected to her audience.”
“We have known Betty for several years both as a story teller and sincere friend.
When she tells a story, it is always pertinent, funny, sincere and her delivery is superb.
She reads her audience with experienced eyes and enlarges or contracts the story accordingly.
Her story telling does not only appeal to young listeners but encompasses all age groups.
Betty is a treat and inspiration to know.”
“She brought warmth and character to everything she said and did and her endearing personality shone through.”
“The workshops ensured children were meeting all four capacities and the planning of the activities included all seven principles of ACE.”
“Mrs Skelton is not only a fabulous storyteller but a very talented facilitator of storytelling.”
“Betty has a sunny disposition and a fun and quirky way with her stories and always made the children (and the staff) smile.”
“Betty was more than comfortable communicating with children in wheelchairs, non-verbal children, working with challenging behaviour and encouraging and incorporating each individual into her stories.”
“Shared some truly beautiful and compelling stories”
“In all her storytelling she draws you into the enjoyment of it, inviting you to delight in it too – whatever your age.”
“I listened to Betty tell stories of the sea — outdoors, next to a busy main road as well as some very noisy jackdaws! Before long the noises faded away and we were in the midst of Betty’s stories with her. She held us as an audience in the palm of her hand, mesmerising us with tale after tale. Thoroughly enjoyable afternoon and a lovely lady to boot!”
“Betty captivates her audience and unleashes their imagination.”
