Suffolk Folk Tales - Kirsty Hartsiotis

With its wild eroding sea, its gentle rolling fields and tall churches, Suffolk is a county of contrasts. It may seem a kindly and civilised place, but in that sea, in the reed beds, the woods and even down dark town streets lurk strange beasts, ghosts and tricksters.

These thirty traditional tales retold by storyteller Kirsty Hartsiotis take you into a hidden world of green children and wildmen, of lovers from beyond the grave and tricksy fairy folk. Shaped by generations of Suffolk mardle and wit, in these stories you'll discover the county's last dragon, the secret behind Black Shuck, saintly King Edmund and heroic King Raedwald, haunted airfields, broken-hearted mermaids and the exploits of the country's cunning folk. Embark on a journey around Suffolk and you'll find you're never far from a story. 

KIRSTY HARTSIOTIS grew up in Suffolk. She has been a professional storyteller for over ten years, and is the author of Wiltshire Folk Tales. Kirsty is a member of the storytelling company Fire Springs, with whom she has co-produced many shows.
