Isabella’s Bicycle Storytelling
Ting-a-ling-a-ling, my blossoms!
Isabella loves to share stories from her incredible bicycling adventures in the wilds of the world. When the doors of Isabella’s theatre on the back of her bicycle open wide she will whisk you away to another world. Expect magical moments, oodles of fun and a fine tale told.
Meet the remarkable children and fearless animals that Isabella has met on her travels. A girl, lost and alone in the forest with a woodpecker who refuses to help, sisters born from a magic bean who sail to the land of the trolls and a cockerel searching for the courage to become a stand up comedian.
Isabella travels to festivals, fetes and fayres to tell traditional tales with the help of Dilys, her unique story bicycle and faithful companion. The story bicycle is inspired by a Japanese picture storytelling form called kamishibai or paper story. Popular in the 1930’s when kamishibai storytellers bicycled around outside to tell their exciting tales outside.
From the oak woods of the west-country to the rainforests of Brazil, Isabella’s earthy charm will put a skip in your step and hope in your heart.
