Tistou of the Green Thumbs was penned by the French statesman Maurice Druon in the 1960’s. It has been hailed as a classic ever since, much in the vein of St Exupery’s Little Prince. 

Tistou is born into a wealthy family in France. His father runs a gun factory and hopes that his son will follow in his footsteps. Incapable of learning at school, his parents try homeschooling. First lesson, gardening with some unexpected consequences!

Ashley Ramsden is the founder of the School of Storytelling at Emerson College, East Sussex, the longest running centre of its kind. For the last 40 years he has brought his acclaimed performances and workshops to audiences all over the world.

A tale for our time!
