Description - Gloucestershire Folk Tales by Anthony Nanson
Gloucestershireâs stories go back to the days of Sabrina, spirit of the Severn, and the Nine Hags of Gloucester. Tales tell of sky-ships over Bristol, the silk-caped wraith of Doverâs Hill, snow foresters on the Cotswolds, and Cirencesterâs dark-age drama of snake and nipple. They uncover the tragic secrets of Berkeley Castle and the Gauntsâ Chapel, a lonely ghost haunting an ancient inn, and twenty-first-century beasts in the Forest of Dean. From the intrigue and romance of town and abbey to the faery magic of the wild, here are thirty of the countyâs most enchanting tales, brought imaginatively to life by a dynamic local storyteller.
Anthony Nanson is a Stroud-based storyteller. He has performed widely in Britain and abroad and is a founding member of Fire Springs storytelling company. He is the author of Storytelling and Ecology, Exotic Excursions and Words of Re-enchantment, and teaches creative writing at Bath Spa University. A love of nature and the spirit of place informs all his work.
