There are currently no books which bring together the ancient stories of England, Scotland, Wales and the Isles, and particularly none that aim, above all, to entertain the largest audience possible. There are lots of localised anthologies and expensive academic works, mythology-based books which remain ghetto-ised as `Special Interest'. But in this time of Brexit-based disunity, we believe that one thing which has always brought the people of this island together is our shared culture, and particularly our national treasury of tales, which have been retold afresh for each generation. Each one of the 77 stories to be found in TALES OF BRITAIN - from the folktales of Dick Whittington, Robin Hood and King Arthur to heroes who deserve to be better known, like Mollie Whuppie, Bran the Blessed and Jack O'Kent - has been forged in performance to find the 21st century retelling to grab today's audience, no matter what their age, gender, sexuality or creed. Some tales are moving, some bawdy, some downright weird, but above all, they have been retold with a crucial sense of anarchic fun, while restoring the true root of every legend in a way which should appeal to every Briton, whether first generation or thousandth - or indeed, lovers of great stories all around the world, from any background. Inspiration for these Tales' delivery comes not just from the magic of Dahl and Rowling, but the Grim Tales anarchy of Rik Mayall and Anthony Horowitz, the warmth of John Hurt's Storyteller, and the enthusiasm of Tony Robinson's Odysseus. What the Grimms did for German folklore, TALES OF BRITAIN will do for the British - with the added bonus that each story is rooted in the landscape, and so a tourist guide is provided for every tale, encouraging everyone to visit the places where each story `really happened'. Enjoy the tale on a Tuesday, and on Sunday afternoon, you can relive it.
