Have you ever wondered about the people who lived and worked along the canals in the past? Have you ever caught a glimpse of something they might have seen or an echo of something they might have heard?

Fiona Eadie certainly has, and it is this that has prompted her to write the stories of Amos the lock-keeper, Samuel the navy, Anne of the past, present and future and a host of other characters that populate the pages of Tales from the Towpath. Each gives an engaging insight into canal life in times gone by, and these intriguing tales are accompanied by historical facts and fascinating old photographs.

Fiona Eadie

Fiona Eedie is a professional storyteller based in Horsley, near Nailsworth. She is passionate about language and about bringing the spoken word to life. As a storyteller, she works in two different mediums. In one she tells existing stories that have come down to us through the oral tradition.

In the other she researches, devises and leads storywalks through a particular landscape that touch on the history of that place. She has been commissioned to create storywalks for the National Trust, the Lichfield Festival and (by Stroud District Council) for the Cotswold Canals Trust.
