Dave Tonge is an itinerant teller of tales who performs at festivals, museums, heritage sites and schools. From Lindisfarne Holy Island in the north, to Arundel Castle in the south, he works regularly for English Heritage and national museums including the British Museum. He has written three books, Tudor Folk Tales, Norfolk Folk tales for Children and Medieval Folk tales for Children. Dave specialises in period rich and often irreverent tales shared by the poorer folk long ago, and is particularly interested in bringing storytelling to wider non storytelling audiences. He can also be heard at storytelling events including Taffy Thomas’s Tales in Trust and Festival at the Edge.
