"Strange old folk tales don't inevitably live forever. They need new energy to survive - and a fresh storytelling voice can uncover long-lost levels of meaning. David Phelps, connoisseur of Welsh Border Gothic, is a vital part of a tradition as old as time." - Phil Rickman
After a career in the civil service David Phelps returned to his native county of Herefordshire, intent on searching out the folklore and history of this special place.
He fell in with a company of oral storytellers and discovered a fascinating tradition that is still very much alive.
