Swanage Literary Festival – Tales of Fairies and Magical Beings

Nicholas Jubber is the author of six books about history, travel, folklore and mythology. His journeys have taken him across Africa, Asia and Europe, on the trail of a medieval physician, Persian poet and sixteenth century explorer, amongst many other adventures, as he investigates the connections that link the past to the present. A winner and multiple nominee of the Stanford/Dolman Travel Book Award, he has spoken at festivals across Britain and internationally and has had plays produced in London and Edinburgh.

He has written six books, including The Fairy Tellers and Monsterland where he goes on a journey to discover more about the monsters we’ve invented, lurking in the dark and the wild places of the earth —giants, dragons, ogres, zombies, ghosts, demons —all with one thing in common: their ability to terrify.
