About Giles Abbott
Giles Abbott was 25 when sudden and severe sight loss made reading books impossible. He began listening to and telling stories instead. Since then, Giles has become a well-known storyteller, performing and touring across the British Isles, Europe and around the world. As he says: “I lost something I loved and rediscovered something I didn’t know I’d lost – the love of storytelling!”
