AUTHOR: Bob Pegg began his professional career in 1970 as singer, musician and songwriter with the folk rock band Mr Fox. Later he teamed up with instrumentalist Nick Strutt, and ended the decade as a solo singer-songwriter, with five albums for Transatlantic Records under his belt. In 1989, after a spell as one half of performance duo The Beasties, he moved to the Highlands of Scotland where he now lives, working as a storyteller, writer and musician.

In a career lasting over half a century, storyteller, musician and songwriter BOB PEGG has performed in venues ranging from a Viking longhouse in the wilds of Iceland to the Royal Festival Hall in London. For sixteen years he was an arts worker in the Highlands of Scotland, organising the Tales at Martinmas festival and the Merry Dancers Storytelling Project. He has written a number of books on the themes of folklore and folk tales - three of them for The History Press - and the stories in his broad repertoire reflect the places he has visited and the cultures he has encountered.
