Om fortælleren
I am a storyteller, author, and performer.
I’ve stood on stages in Denmark, Sweden, Spain, and Scotland — told tales in churches and festivals, beneath beech trees and in care homes.My work ranges from 'Gullrun’s Saga' and 'Danish Folktales' to deeply personal stories of life, loss, and survival.
The wonderful drawings carrying these stories over paper and digits are made by my friend and college, professional illustrator Tea Bendix, Copenhagen.
