Tudor Tales by Dave Tonge

Tudor Tales by Dave Tonge

In Tudor times the ‘common sort’ were no different from us, laughing together, mocking each other and sharing bawdy tales in tavern yards, marketplaces and anywhere else that people came together. These stories were later collected in the cheap print of the period, and professional storyteller Dave Tonge has sought them out to assemble here. Within these pages hide smooth-talking tricksters, lusty knaves, wayward youths and stories of the eternal struggle to wear the breeches in the family, for a sometimes coarse but often comic telling of the everyday ups and downs in Tudor life.

DAVE TONGE is a professional storyteller and historian who gives storytelling performances at schools, museums, heritage sites and storytelling festivals, where he focusses on historical stories from Medieval and Tudor folklore. He has also written tours on the medieval history of Norwich Castle Museum, the British Museum and the Ashmolean, and was recently commissioned to create a storytelling session based on the Bayeux Tapestry for families. He lives in Norwich.
