Dan Keding

Dan Keding is a wonderful American storyteller. He tells personal stories of growing up in Chicago, traditional stories from his Croatian grandmother and many more.

Together we have published ‘English Folktales’, a book of traditional English stories retold by English storytellers. He is over in England in May 2006 – you can see him at Chippenham Folk Festival and in Shropshire / Cheshire working with Mythstories Museum. www.dankeding.com

Mythstories Museum of Myth and Fable

A fantastic resource for myths, legends and background information. The physical museum is located in Wem, Shropshire. The museum is incredibly proactive and innovative in their outreach work. I have been involved in several projects with them, including "Shut Stories," a residency to incorporate existing folklore, reminiscences, history and dream, into a new tradition for Shrewsbury, based in the alleyways that thread through the heart of town. www.mythstories.com
