Norwich historian, author and storyteller David Tonge, the Yarnsmith of Norwich, headlines Tales Tattled & Told at the Crown Inn in Stony Stratford with 'Beguiling for Beginners, a celebration of cunning men and women, coney catching and all manner of counterfeit craftiness.'

'A lone trickster wanders the road, wearing many different disguises. Sometimes a priest, sometimes a potter, and sometimes a pedlar of wares. From pots to pardons, potions to pins, he sells them all occasionally, but always he gifts lies.'
