Tales from the Towpath

FIONA EADIE is a professional storyteller based in Horsley, near Nailsworth. She is passionate about language and about bringing the spoken word to life. As a storyteller, she works in two different mediums. In one she tells existing stories that have come down to us through the oral tradition. In the other she researches, devises and leads storywalks through a particular landscape that touch on the history of that place. She has been commissioned to create storywalks for the National Trust, the Lichfield Festival and (by Stroud District Council) for the Cotswold Canals Trust. TRACY SPIERS is a journalist who has worked in every aspect of media, including newspapers, magazines, radio and television (for BBC) for over 30 years. She has a first class BA Honours degree in illustration as well as an MA (with distinction) in the subject. She now marries the two professions to tell stories in a playful, engaging and colourful way. She lives in Stroud.
