London Folk Tales For Children

London Folk Tales for Children' grew out of a project, 'We Are Londoners'. A three year 'Everyday Magic' project that celebrated the fact that London is the place where we hear many languages spoken on the street and this has been true since the time of the Romans in the first century AD. Both Anne and Sef developed and worked on this project. Belinda Evans is an artist and illustrator based in London. London Folk Tales are passionate about helping children feel comfortable and confident no matter whether they are newcomers to London or whether their first language is other than English. They work with schools and share traditional tales from many countries while at the same time stressing the vital connection that has always existed between London and the rest of the world.

They encourage the children to become detectives and discover some of the stories behind the statues, the street names and the buildings of London and to add their own family stories to the great treasure trove of London stories.
