Set in a remote corner of post-industrial Britain, Diveskin is a story of adventure and self-discovery for adult readers. It follows Cara over the course of one otherworldly summer as she lifts the lid on her family’s unsettling past and her own hidden powers. Through it all runs the magic of the wild—the dunes, the caves… the ever-elusive Selkie.

(With illustrations by the author and one by Lucienne Emberglow.)

About

Nothing is more satisfying to listen to than a story

If it’s well told

And that’s what I do

Face-to-face with my audience I draw them into the story

And get them listening, engaged, inspired

So let Jamie Crawford Storytelling help you bring people together

To make your project shine.

Known for my dynamic reworking of traditional stories, for my playful approach to the spoken word and for the warmth of my telling, I have been delivering storytelling shows, workshops and walks since 2002.

I create and deliver storytelling programmes in the arts, education, heritage, media and business sectors as well as privately. I give performances, teach storytelling courses and run consultancies. All my practice is based on: 

  • Researching stories from oral and written traditions

  • Shaping new versions of the stories to the needs of my clients

  • Telling those stories to audiences of all ages face-to-face

  • Inspiring others to tell their stories
