British storyteller, Simon Brooks has made New Hampshire his home for over 25 years, and most of that has been in New London which he calls his home. His audiences often find themselves transfixed as he combines the intensity of solo performance with the intimacy of face-to-face conversations as he shares folk and fairy tales, myths and legends from all over the world. Although some people believe that these tales are for children, as some are, many of these stories are really for adults. Simon travels all over the United States sharing stories and leading workshops at schools, colleges, libraries and businesses, summer camps, at community gatherings and at pubs! Simon grew up steeped in stories told by his parents and grandparents, and visited places where some of these stories took place. Brooks' recordings have won awards and honours from Parent's Choice and Storytelling World, and he has performed multiple times at the National Storytelling Festival in Jonesborough, TN as well as at many other national and regional festivals and conferences.
