Peter was born in Wolverhampton to Punjabi parents who arrived in England from India in the 1950’s. He has a vast repertoire of tales from the sub-continent, many of which he has collected and translated from Punjabi into English. A large part of his work takes him into school settings, where he helps pupils create and tell their own stories. He has told stories at the British Library, The National Gallery, and many libraries, festivals, and museums across Britain. Peter has also performed in Greece, Norway, The Netherlands, Ireland, and India.
