About Tim:

Tim is a storyteller with decades of storytelling experience. He's a dad of five children (three grown up now). He's used storytelling within his family and as a way to build community connections. He's worked extensively in schools, using storytelling to promote well-being and literacy. For the past 14 years he's written a weekly column called Tim's Tales in his local newspaper The East Lothian Courier. He has published three books on local folktales for both adults and children.
