Book description
These lively and entertaining folk tales from one of Britain's most
ancient counties are vividly retold by local storyteller The Journey
Man. Their origins lost in the oral tradition, these thirty stories
from Staffordshire reflect the wisdom (and eccentricities) of the
county and its people. Staffordshire has a rich and diverse collection
of tales, from the stories of some of Britain's most famous mythical
heroes, to tales of demons, dragons, boggarts and brownies. These
stories, illustrated with twenty-five line drawings, bring alive the
landscape of the county's rolling hills and fertile plains.
The Journey Man is a professional storyteller who has been
telling stories across the world for over twenty years. For the last
few years he has been gathering folk tales from across his home county
of Cheshire and leading storytelling walks in the area.
