Hugh Lupton is a British storyteller, one of the most prominent figures in the Oral Storytelling Tradition. ==Early life and career== Lupton was born in 1952, the eldest recorded child of Francis G. H. Lupton and Mary Gee/Lupton. He is the great nephew of Arthur Ransome (1884-1967) whom, as a boy, he often visited. Lupton can recall hearing his great uncle's classic children’s stories set in Norfolk and the Lake District. "He (Ransome) was very old by then, in his dotage, but I remember him and stories were very important as I grew up." Lupton was born in Cambridgeshire, where there was much family heritage, and educated at the King's College School, Cambridge. He studied to become a teacher in Norwich. 〔See for instance ("Passing Through the Chink in Snout's Wall: Daniel Morden and the Devil's Violin''" ), by Michael Wilson, Professor of Drama, University of Glamorgan, paper presented 15 November 2007, p. 4. See for instance ("How a secret agent crept off the page and infiltrated a corner of my mind" ), by Rachel Campbell-Johnston, ''The Times'', 3 March 2005, where art critic Campbell-Johnston describes Lupton, along with his co-author Daniel Morden, as one of "Britain's finest storytellers". 〕 Lupton co-founded the Company of Storytellers (with Ben Haggarty and Sally Pomme Clayton) in 1985,〔''Tales, Tellers and Texts'', by Gabrielle Cliff Hodges, Morag Styles, Mary Jane Drummond, p. viii.〕〔Performing at the Barbican Centre, London, the Beyond the Border Festival and many other venues.
