I re-listened to this wonderful programme the other day and as usual enjoyed the story told about the poor man who had a dream to go to London, when he got there he met a man who'd had a dream about treasure under a tree where the poor man came from. The poor man returned home and found the treasure under the tree. Anyone know who the story teller was? The programme was distinctly unhelpful in identifying who contributed what.
This is thestory of the Swaffham tinker or pedlar.Iwrote a song about it which Irecorded in 1981 on the lp the Dunmow Flitch,JezLowe accompanied me on guitar.http://www.dickmiles.com
