Book description
The county of Lincolnshire is a beautiful mixture of low-lying
marshy fen land, modest hills and the steep valleys of the rolling
Wolds; it is also home to a wealth of folklore, legend and intrigue.
With one of the most interesting dialects in the country, this vast
region is also rich in superstitions, songs and traditional games. A
study of daily life, lore and customs of Lincolnshire are here
interspersed with stories of monstrous black hounds, dragon lairs,
witches, Tiddy Mun, mischievous imps and tales of the people known as
the Yellowbellies. This fully illustrated book explores the origins
and meanings of Lincolnshire's traditions and shows how the customs of
the past have influenced the ways of the present.
Susanna O'Neill is a retired teacher who has studied the ancient
cultures and traditions of Britain for many years. She is also a keen photographer.
