Pete Castle has spent most of his life playing music and nearly as long telling tales. He has often been described as a 'wandering minstrel'. He is a storyteller who sings half his stories which is, of course, the old way; the ancient bards often played instruments, sang and told stories.

In this book Pete has gathered together a collection of traditional tales in which music calls the tune. Songs can get you both into and out of trouble; dancing can be a wondrous experience but don't do it in the wrong place or at the wrong time; a musician can be a welcome guest but he can also be frowned on or hounded out of town. From Orpheus with his harp to Johnny B Goode and his guitar is not such a giant step!

AUTHOR: Pete Castle has been a professional folk singer and storyteller for over 40 years. He has worked all over Britain and occasionally abroad in just about every kind of venue imaginable from the largest to the smallest. These include both folk and storytelling events plus a lot of 'general public' events such as village fetes, arts festivals and community groups. He has recorded about 20 albums of both songs and stories. Since 1999 he has edited Facts & Fiction storytelling magazine and this will be his third book for The History Press.
