SUMMARY:English Folk Tales of Coast and Sea - at Dartington
DESCRIPTION:England is a maritime nation. Our folklore and history is peppered with tall tales of the high seas: mysteries of the great ocean\, the unknown world beneath the surface of the salt sea\, and the liminal coast where the sea-gods meet our lives on the land.Join us for an evening with popular author and professional storyteller Lisa Schneidau\, as she presents stories from her new collection of traditional folk tales from the coasts and seas of England. Lisa retells the old stories with a contemporary twist: dragons and monsters\, sailor heroes and ghost ships\, mermaids and shapeshifters. Come and be immersed in these salty sea stories\, and learn about England’s heritage\, magic and relationship to the mysterious ocean world that surrounds us. \n\n\n\nThis event will be followed by a book signing.Lisa Schneidau’s book will be for sale at its cost price of £14.99 during the event\, or we are offering a special pre-order deal of £18 for a ticket & book option.‘Lisa Schneidau has an environmentalist’s eye and a storyteller’s heart\, weaving together both precision and passion in this utterly engaging new collection of seafaring stories. The author has dived deep into the ocean of folktales and legends from every corner of coastal England\, pulling up a treasure-hoard of shimmering stories that deserve to be shared widely. A few of the tales I was aware of\, but many were brand new to me – a testament to her diligence and delight in researching the source material. As someone who lives by the sea\, this feels like a book to be dipped into often and enjoyed as much as the salty sea itself.’ — Martin Maudsley

SUMMARY:English Folk Tales of Coast and Sea: storytelling by Lisa Schneidau ONLINE
DESCRIPTION:Do you know that a mermaid might choose to bless or curse you? Have you seen the ghosts of smugglers and wreckers that stalk the south coast of England? Do you follow the old wisdom\, and do you know the day of the week you must not set sail? \n\n\n\nEngland is a maritime nation. Our folklore and history is peppered with tall tales of the high seas: mysteries of the great ocean\, the unknown world beneath the surface of the salt sea\, and the liminal coast where the sea-gods meet our lives on the land. \n\n\n\nLisa Schneidau retells the old stories with a contemporary twist: dragons and monsters\, sailor heroes and ghost ships\, mermaids and shapeshifters. Immerse yourself in these salty sea stories\, and learn about England’s heritage\, magic and relationship to the mysterious ocean world that surrounds us. \n\n\n\nThis is a special online storytelling to celebrate the launch of Lisa’s new book English Folk Tales of Coast and Sea\, published on 17th October in hardback\, ebook (The History Press) and audiobook (narrated by Lisa) versions. \n\n\n\nSome stories are quite strong\, and so age limit of 14+ is advised for this session. There’ll be a break in the middle to recharge your blackjack with ale\, and plenty of space in the snug for banter about marine folklore after the storytelling.
