A collection of traditional and original dragon myths from Britain and Asia, brought to life by award-winning performance storyteller, Jason Buck.
“Once every one hundred years, a group of people meets – the same group of people. They meet in comfortable surroundings, and retell their histories and their stories – and you may not believe it either when I tell you of their stories, their histories – the stories of Dragons.”
Ages: Adults and families (10+)
“Jason Buck is a man-made of myth, magic, and mead. His stories are filled with adventure, his beard is full of unexpected twists, and his tankard is filled with a poet’s brew. Sit around the fire and listen to his tales – you won’t be disappointed.” Abbie, Strange Times Storytelling Club
