About Ruth

Ruth Humphreys is a storyteller and artist based in Berkshire, England . 

“I call myself a storyteller for kids and inner kids. Telling stories both to children and families but also tales which connect with the playful inner child within us all….. “

Ruth’s mission is to help people reconnect with what they loved as a child and bring the essence of this into their lives today as an adult. She looks for moments of wonder and magic in each day and creates materials,  resources and reminders to help others connect with this too. 

Her intention in all that she does is to reconnect adults with the magic we often knew as children. She does this in a range of different ways. Including storytelling, books, arts, performance, videos and filmmaking within her company Wonderled productions.

Ruth’s inspiration comes from the things she sees every day, walks in the forest, moments of magic in the mundane as well as art and story.

“Look for the the magic… it’s always here”

Her dream is for all those who come across her work to see a glimpse of that childhood magic. Ruth’s work challenges the grey and somberness which often feels necessary as adults, and invites her audience to uncover colour, play, curiosity and the unknown.

Ruth’s work has been featured on BBC local radio, tv, magazine, podcasts including online magazines. She has told stories in theatres, enchanted forests, festivals, farms, holiday parks as well as care homes, parties and nurseries.
