Oxford Storyteller
Marguerite
Osborne
Programmes for Children,
Families and 'All Ages'
Marguerite is expert at entertaining children. Young listeners, besides enjoying her lively narration of a tale, become actively involved in role play, singing along, playing musical instruments or helping make up a new story.
A programme is usually 15 to 45 minutes long. A series of tellings can be given at the same venue or event.
Marguerite tells stories in schools, libraries, museums, theatres, bookshops, gardens and woodlands, at parties, outings, picnics, barbecues, fêtes, fairs, festivals, walks, fundraisers, family occasions, scout and guide events, after-school clubs and other children's meetings.
