Hugh Lupton

With an interest in traditional music, street theatre, live poetry and myth, Hugh Lupton has been a professional storyteller since 1981. He was a founder member of the Company of Storytellers and has been a major figure in the revival of oral storytelling in Britain and Europe.

He tells stories from many cultures, but his particular passion is for the hidden layers of the British landscape and the stories and ballads that give voice to them. He has published several collections of folk tales for children and two acclaimed novels, The Ballad of John Clare and The Assembly of the Severed Head.

He lives in Norfolk.
