Summary
Stanley Robertson talks about the changes in detail that he makes when telling stories.
Alan Bruford asks about Stanley Robertson's telling of detailed stories, and whether he tells them as he heard them, for instance from his grandfather, or adds things. Stanley keeps the basics, but tells a story differently each time. He will change personal names but not place-names. He hands on Traveller stories the way they were told.
Item Notes
Alan Bruford refers back to a story, 'The Candle' that Stanley Robertson told earlier on the same tape (SA1978.012).
