Sharon Jacksties This Thursday 16th October at 8pm

Storyteller, Sharon Jacksties tells tales from her latest collection of Somerset tales,newly collected and retold with a strong sense of the land and the waters that shaped them.

Let these stories from the Summer Lands take you on a journey: across wind-wild moors that plummet to treacherous tides traversed by sea morgans; on a scramble from gorges shaped by the Devil’s spite to aves dwelled in by bitter witches. Discover bottomless pools and dragons’ haunts, and emerge into forests and fields to be befriended by bees or beguiled by fairies; then stroll beside ancient waterways, where willows walk and orchards talk.

‘Sharon Jacksties has a sharp eye for the landscape of Somerset and the seen and unseen stories that it holds, a sympathetic ear for the dialect of the South West, and a playful wit that brings this collection of tales to vivid and delightful life.’

Hugh Lupton
