Synopsis

This volume, Tales From Central America, is the first in what I hope will be a small set of collections covering tales from Central and South America, an area that actually covers a whole host of nations and storytelling traditions.

These folk tales, legends, and fairy tales are rich with cultural heritage and often reflect the unique blend of indigenous, European, and other cultural influences found in the region.

À propos de l'auteur

Born in 1962 into a household that lived and breathed sports, the author's dad was a seasoned senior amateur and lower league professional footballer. Not just that, he managed his own businesses in cahoots with Clive's mum, who was no slouch either - she was a skilled and award-winning ballroom dancer.After snagging a degree in History from Leeds University, our storyteller took a rather serendipitous stroll into the burgeoning world of information technology in the late '80s. Like father, like son, they say. Alongside a flourishing tech career, Clive dabbled in various writing and acting pursuits, from freelancing as a journalist and book reviewer (with a coveted by-line in The Sunday People) to gracing stages in village halls and the odd professional theatre across the south of the UK for a good decade.In a nod to the family's sporting legacy, Clive - long after hanging up his own hockey boots - delved into the world of live TV broadcasts. Armed with a wealth of rugby knowledge, he became one of the go-to 'statos' for the BBC, ITV, TVNZ, and EuroSport, covering everything from Heineken Cups to Six Nations, World Sevens, and World Cups in the late '90s.For a deeper dive into this fascinating journey, head over to clivegilson.com, where there's a whole trove of tales waiting to be uncovered!
