way of life of generations of Kentish people. Herein you will find the
intriguing tales of Brave Mary of Mill Hill, King Herla, the
Pickpockets of Sturry, the Wantsum Wyrm and the Battle of Sandwich, to
name but a few. These captivating stories, brought to life with a
collection of unique illustrations, will be enjoyed by reader time and
again. Tony Cooper has been a full-time storyteller for the past
twenty-five years. He attends regular storytelling events, with a
particular favourite being the Winter Tales Festival, 'a dark evening
of storytelling and object theatre for adults' held in his hometown of Sandwich.
