Folk Tales of the Night

Overview

Who knew about the Moon being captured by Dartmoor pixies, the dauntless and devious serving-girl, or the sleeping sovereign deep beneath the Earth?

Star stories and creature tales, good-old-fashioned ghost stories together with traditional narratives about how the night became, kindle the fires of our imagination and deepen our acquaintance with the dark in this compendium of stories to tell out loud.

Filtered through the wild imaginations and indigenous tongues of storytellers from all over the world, this collection is rewritten and represented here by a master storyteller from the UK, who has been spinning nocturnal narratives around the campfire for 3 decades.

This is a delicious midnight feast of 'tales from the darkside’ to fascinate, terrify, enchant and inform about the night-time realm.
