Book description
Ranging from the silly to the gory and unsettling, Nottinghamshire
Folk Tales features tales of love, murder, and all kinds of roguery.
From historical to fabled, the book includes an array of heroes and
villains - including the legendary Robin Hood - and lovers of the
supernatural will find an abundance of fairies, ghosts and monsters.
This book presents the history of the people of Nottinghamshire
through the stories they have told and passed on, keeping alive the
rich history of events, ideas and customers. Whether the stories are
of national import or local folklore, Pete Castle has made them
accessible and enjoyable.
