Traveller's Tale by David Slattery-Christy
This book gives us an insight into the life of his grandfather Reg Pratley, born in a small Berkshire village called Appleton near Oxford, who ran away to be a fairground showman. He worked and toured with the famous William (Billy) Nichols fairground empire and established himself as a Master Showman.
"At the heart of his career is a twin devotion: to reviving forgotten voices and bridging the worlds of stage and scholarship. Slattery-Christy has cultivated a reputation as a careful researcher, an intuitive dramatist, and a steward of cultural memory. His work finds purchase where actor and archivist meet — where the ghosts of Edwardian stages and wartime letters might be reimagined for contemporary audiences. Whether through lyric biography or theatrical invention, he continues to explore the resonances of past lives in our own time."
