Description

A new take on the ancient Border ballad of Thomas the Rhymer with specially composed music performed by well-known instrumentalist and composer John Sampson and multi-talented musician and performer Pete Baynes. Thomas encounters the beautiful queen of Elfland who offers him a choice of three paths. We join in the mystery and magic of Thomas' story with singing and playing, but who can spot the magic treasures? The story is written and narrated by award-winning actor Julia Munrow and features bronze sculptures created by artist Anna Caro.
