  • It's all about the Stories (Season 4 Finale)
    Jul 6 2024

    ‘In this season finale of 'Stories to be tolled,' I’d like to take this opportunity to say a huge THANK YOU and re-orientate you, my listeners back to where it all began.’ (Tracy DW)

    By reading extracts from each of her current published titles, Tracy takes us through a poetic exploration of colonial events that have shaped the world. From England's early attempts to colonise the Caribbean, inspired by tales of gold and glory to The Berlin Conference of 1884 and the partitioning of Africa by European powers. All the way through to Rhodesia's struggle for independence, the resistance against white minority rule and the negotiations between Margaret Thatcher and Deng over the future of Hong Kong.

    Tracy's narratives weave a rich tapestry of the past, encouraging listeners to embark on their own learning journeys. You can purchase your own copy of each of Tracy’s current titles by visiting the bookshop on the website.
