Book Description
These spooky ghost tales from one of Britain's most ancient counties are vividly retold by local storyteller Janet Dowling. Their origins lost in the oral tradition, these stories are as eerie and mysterious as the windswept moorland, wild shorelines and rugged landscapes from which they derive. Here you will find stories of a voice beyond the grave, a ghost on the pivot between heaven and hell, and the spectres of Viking princes on moonlit roads. Richly illustrated by Vicky Jocher with original drawings, these atmospheric tales are perfect for reading aloud in front of a roaring fire or alone under the covers on dark, stormy nights.

Book Description
Excerpt from Humorous and Other Poetic Pictures: Legends and Stories of Devon Thanks, my good friends, for the advice you give If all the same to you, I 'd rather live To reap the profit which my pen may earn, And leave Posterity's pale lamp to burn. A poet is not very much to blame Who writes for profit sure, and chances fame, And thinks that man almost a mortal sinner Who courts the Muse and goes without his dinner.

Devonshire Folk Tales
Author: Michael DacrePublisher: The History Press
ISBN: 0752470337
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 195
Book Description
Devon is a county rich in history and folklore, the roots of which lie in the beliefs of ancient Celtic inhabitants. Long ago, whilst middle England was converted to Christianity, the Celtic people of the edge-lands were still Druids. With no explanation offered for the cycles of hardship and abundance, a large amount of folklore and superstition emerged. Moulded by the land, weather and generations of people's attempts to make sense of the world, these thirty tales are full of Devonshire wit and wisdeom, and tell of the strange and macabre; memories of magic and otherworlds; and proud recollections of folk history. The captivating stories, brought to life with unique illustrations from the author, will be enjoyed by readers time and again.
