Description

This collection of traditional stories and tales, many of which are published for the first time, will delight lovers of Devonshire folklore.

Some of the stories have been gleaned from residents of the county, whilst others have been developed by the author and have evolved through countless tellings.

All the tales within represent this large and diverse county throughout its long and distinguished history, from the founding of Britain itself by Brute the Trojan at Totnes, to recent reports of haunted roads and phantom hairy hands.

Also included are giants, devils, witches, ghosts, fairies, spectral black dogs and a wide range of other supernatural phenomena, all exemplifying the vigorous and earthy nature of the Devon imagination down through the ages.

It is a book of wonders, to terrify and intrigue, and leads the reader around this beautiful and fascinating county.
