Anne Lister (Dr. Margaret Anne Purbrick) has been telling and writing stories and songs for most of her adult life. Her first degree and MA (at Warwick University) both focussed on medieval French and Occitan literature, which is how she first met Jaufre. After a full and extremely varied career in teaching, she took advantage of retirement to complete her PhD in the School of Welsh in Cardiff University, working with Sioned Davies, exploring Jaufre from a storyteller's perspective. Anne is still writing and performing her songs, and writing and telling stories, and finding new audiences for Jaufre. She lives in the hills of south east Wales with her husband and two cats.
