The Polite Tourist Presents an Afternoon Walk on Friday and Saturday in YORK - Death in a Chocolate Box.
For those of a curious and hardy temperament – why not come along and listen to the Lady Brigante one Friday or Saturday afternoon in the ancient City of York as she shares with you the tales of those ordinary folk including the story of a selfish chemist, the grieving brother, an unwanted infant and the mother driven to an extreme act of desperation.
And ALL lost to history – until now!
However, for those of a sensitive nature who are averse to real stories of tears, heartache and tragedy – a walk with the Lady B one Friday or Saturday afternoon may NOT be to your taste.
