ISBN:Lindy Mitchell

Lindy grew up in Sydney at a time when children were encouraged to play outside until dark. The local bush was a place where nature and a child's imagination created magical worlds and limitless stories. Lindy always expected to meet fairies and bunyips and was always surprised when she didn?t.

Lindy?s love of nature led to a career in horticulture. Later in life she decided to pursue her other love, literature. After completing an English degree, Lindy then worked in Mental Health and volunteered as a telephone counselor. During this time Lindy became aware of society?s disconnection from the natural world and the rise in mental illness. Lindy?s experience and innate wisdom spoke of how spending time in nature was not only beneficial to mental and physical health but vital for the spirit.

In her new career as Storyteller, Lindy seeks to connect people with the healing essence of nature. Through the written and oral traditions, Lindy uses humour and imagination to tell tales of simple spiritual truths, promoting the love of nature and fostering a sense of stewardship. Lindy encourages children and their families outdoors to explore and reconnect with their environment.

Lindy considers herself blessed to live on the Central Coast of NSW Australia ,surrounded by her family and friends. The spectacular natural scenery of the region is the inspiration and setting for her stories?.and she now meets the fairy folk regularly though the bunyip remains elusive.

Author: Lindy's first book The Elf that Flew was launched in 2011. Her second book The Fairy that Sneezed will be available September 2012. Both stories are set on the beautiful Central Coast of NSW. The books' themes however are universal, heart warming and loads of fun.

Storytelling: Lindy is a storyteller in the oral tradition. Combining original stories, poetry with some classic tales, Lindy enthralls audiences with her interactive performances. An open heart, a pixie like sense of humour and a funny hat make for a storytime full of warm fuzzy moments and loads of giggling goblins.

Lindy is an accredited professional member of the Australian Storytelling Guild: NSW, and Editor of the Guild's Quarterly Magazine The Storyteller.
