Tom Lee has told stories professionally for fifteen years. His interest in traditional stories began while he was working as a cook in a tiny fishing village in Scotland. Tom's first storytelling performances were tales from Grimm, told in the the London pub theater called, appropriately, "The Man in the Moon."

In the United States, Tom has worked in classrooms with children of all ages. "When it comes to stories," he says, "children have taught me everything I know." A roster artist with the Connecticut Commission on the Arts and Vice President of the Connecticut Storytelling Center, Tom uses storytelling for educational outreach at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Yale Center for British Art and Hartford Stage.
