Stories are living things. They are viral. They enter us through our eyes and our ears and they take up residence inside us.

Unriddling the World is a collection of fifty traditional narratives - stories from the winding track that leads from nursery rhyme to the great tales of creation and redemption, by way of ballads, riddles, folk tales, legends, epics and myths. They've been shaped by countless voices and they've stood the test of time. They are concentrations of human experience and they speak in the enigmatic picture-language of dreams.
These Fifty Wonder Tales form the heart of Hugh Lupton's repertoire: from 'The Stone Monkey' to the 'Oil of Mercy', from 'The Pottle of Brains' to the 'Pool of Dharma', they are a gift from the past to the future, shaped for retelling by a master storyteller. They're alive . . . and they're waiting to be told again.
