Description

Telling Stories is a podcast about stories and storytelling. In each podcast I take down a book from my shelf and tell you about it, the stories it contains and which other stories they relate to.
One week I'll be telling tales from Sufi poetry, the next anecdotes from the world of chess, then on to stories about sharks, the next week hot air balloons - there are stories everywhere...
I'm a writer and storyteller from England and I spent 20 years travelling the worldl and picked up a few tales along the way.
You can find my books and more storytelling at www.tomthumb.org
