Unriddling the World: A Treasury of Timeless Tales
by Hugh Lupton
€ 16.25
ISBN: 9781806770199
Fifty timeless myths, legends and folktales retold by one of Britain's greatest storytellers.
'A landmark in the modern storytelling revival' Professor Ronald Hutton
For more than forty years, Hugh Lupton has been one of Britain's most celebrated storytellers, bringing myths, legends and folktales from around the world to audiences of all ages. In Unriddling the World, he gathers fifty of the stories that have stayed with him throughout his career: tales of tricksters and heroes, transformations and journeys, wisdom and wonder.
Drawn from traditions across Europe, Africa, Asia and the Americas, these are stories that have travelled through centuries, carried from voice to voice and generation to generation. Adapted for the spoken word, Lupton's retellings capture the rhythm, energy and immediacy of live storytelling.
A rich treasury of traditional tales and a celebration of the stories that connect us, Unriddling the World is both an invitation to read and an invitation to tell.
