Taunton Literary Festival 2025Amy and Natalie will perform some ballads based on Amy and Gwen’s book Old Songs: Stories of Love and Death from Traditional Ballads.
Old Songs fuses short stories, histories, lyrics and illustrations in an enthralling reimagining of traditional folk ballads. Sunday Times Bestselling historian Amy Jeffs and Illustrator Gwen Burns combine forces to create a rich compendium, singing of travel, mystery, magic and the essential urges of humanity. Featuring iterations of fairy tales and sinister descendants of Greek myths and bible stories, as well as a cast of lesser-known characters with names like Tam Lim, Child Wynd and Maisery, Old Songs threads a tapestry of Britain’s landscape, history and cultures.
There will be an opportunity to purchase a signed copy of the book after the event.
