Download or read book Shropshire Folk Tales written by Amy Douglas and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2011-09-16 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In places, Shropshire has traditional patchwork fields and hedgerows; in others, small villages and market towns with black and white half-timbered buildings. But it also has places that are still wild – hills where heather and bracken cling to the rocks while peewits call overhead and strange rock formations jut to the sky, casting their shadows over the countryside below. The thirty stories in this new collection have grown out of the county's diverse landscapes: tales of the strange and macabre; memories of magic and other worlds; proud recollections of folk history; stories to make you smile, sigh and shiver. Moulded by the land, weather and generations of tongues wagging, these traditional tales are full of Shropshire wit and wisdom, and will be enjoyed time and again.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shropshire Folk-Lore: A Sheaf of Gleanings As every word of the book in its present state comes from the Editor's own brain (except when otherwise specified), the original author must not be held responsible for omissions or insertions, for the use of extraneous matter to illustrate Shropshire superstition, nor for the imperfections of the literary style. On some of these points I received much good advice from the author of folk-lore of the Northern Counties; but as he has not seen any of the finished ms. Or proofs before publication, he is not account able for the poor use I fear I may have made of his kind hints.
