Description

The spectacular and varied landscape of Dorset, with its giants, hill forts, Jurassic coast and ancient buildings is the source and inspiration for many curious stories that have been passed down in families and village communities for generations.

This book contains a rich and diverse collection of those ancient legends rooted in the oral tradition.

From the absorbing tales of the Old King of Corfe and the Thorncombe Thorn to the intriguing Buttons on a Card and George Pitman and the Dragon, these illustrated stories bring alive the landscape of the county’s rolling hills and coastline.

Dorset actor, singer and storyteller Tim Laycock has a lifelong interest in the folklore and oral traditions of the county.

Many of the stories in this collection have been passed on to him by Dorset residents, and appear here in print for the first time.
