About The Stories

You’ll find here a few folk tales that I recorded and set to music back in the 1990s, but the bulk of the stories on this site are the ones that I told to my children at bedtime when they were young. Most were re-recorded in my recording studio, although in some cases the original recordings were so cute (with the children making funny comments in the background, or the atmosphere being so intimate and unrepeatable) that I included them as they were.

Nowadays I’m telling new stories, and performing them, with music from my wife Sundara, for audiences of children and parents at The Dragon Sanctuary, the arts venue in Devon, England that we run. I’ll be adding these new recordings to Palace of Stories over the coming years. If you’d like to receive them for free, sign up for my newsletter!
