For more than 36 years, I have lived in the beautiful, history‑rich city of Chester, a place of Roman walls, crooked lanes, and hidden stories that continue to shape my work. Over the past 15 years, I have written and published children’s books filled with mischievous, imaginative characters, from shrinking giants to dancing dolls and the occasional delightfully fragrant oddball, all inspired by Chester’s quiet magic. My stories are created to help young readers explore history, kindness, and imagination.
In 2024, my creative work received national recognition when I was selected as a Small Business Sunday winner by Dragon’s Den entrepreneur Theo Paphitis, an achievement that highlighted the magical experiences I create for families, schools, and visitors to Chester.
Alongside my writing and audio tours, I am a trained IT teacher, recognised by Ofsted as Grade 1, sharing digital skills and creative learning through my YouTube channel, The Evelyn Winters Adventure. My work brings together education, storytelling, and local history, helping families and travellers discover Chester’s mysteries in engaging, accessible, and memorable ways.
