Bob Pegg

Storyteller, author and musician Bob Pegg has performed professionally in venues ranging from the Royal Festival Hall to a Viking longhouse in the wilds of western Iceland. Born in Derbyshire, and with vital Yorkshire connections, for the past thirty five years Bob has lived in the Highlands of Scotland. His collections of traditional stories - Argyll Folk Tales, and Highland Folk Tales - are full of magic, mystery, intrigue and adventure; essential reading for anyone who wants to dig deeper into the rich vernacular culture of those areas. Highland Folk Tales is the only book to cover the stories of the North Coast 500 route.

Bob’s latest book for the History Press - Folk Horror Folk Tales - is a unique collection of ancient stories from the darker corners of tradition, retold by a master storyteller, and laced with a potent infusion of gallows humour.
