A collection of medieval tales that give children a real insight into the times, from everyday life to religion

Come one, come all for a ride upon Dame Fortune’s wheel! Join many a medieval character as some ride high on good luck, while others fall foul of greed, jealousy and anger. For in this book, storyteller Dave Tonge has adapted traditional tales of proud princes, discontented doctors, mean merchants, covetous cooks, heroic hounds and many more besides. Mixing them with morsels of history, Medieval Folk Tales for Children will give young readers a fair and fine flavour of the ups and downs of life from 500 to 1,000 years ago.

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.
