Tales of History and Imagination

The Tichborne Claimant - Two

Episode Description from the Publisher

This week, on a much waylaid episode of Tales we return to the Tichbornes,’ as Tom Castro makes his play for the land, money and titles. Does it turn out he was, in fact Roger Charles Tichborne - long thought lost at sea - or was he some larrikin on the lookout for an easy life?  This is part two of a two parter. Apologies all, I lost a good month and a half to a bout of pneumonia just after Christmas.   Content warnings: I said nothing on the tape: but on reflection: childhood bullying, and more talk of a character’s weight than I am comfortable with.      Sources Include: Robyn Annear’s The Man Who Lost Himself Rohan McWilliam’s The Tichborne Claimant Support Tales on Patreon for $2 US a month and get access to exclusive content, or Try our 7 Day Free Trial.      Please leave Tales a like and a review wherever you listen.
