Fiona has been a professional spoken word storyteller for thirty years, working with people of all ages and abilities in a diverse range of settings. She tells traditional tales from around the world, with a special interest in stories of strong women and girls, and in the tales of Wales. She respects the traditional cultures which speak to us through story. She works in English, her mother tongue, and Welsh, her second language. She was Welsh Learner of the Year at the National Eisteddfod in 2019.





As well as being a prize-winning poet, she is the author of Pryderi, a reimagining of the Four Branches of The Mabinogion; three volumes of North Wales folk tales; and two international collections: one for young women, Folktales for Bold Girls, and one for readers who are reaching the end of life, Folktales of the Ever After: Stories of Death, Dying and What Comes After. All these folktale books are published by The History Press. She has also published two collections of Welsh folktales in Welsh for Welsh learners, published by Gwasg Carreg Gwalch.
