The Folklore of Gloucestershire
Gloucestershire’s stories go back to the days of Sabrina, spirit of the Severn, and the Nine Hags of Gloucester. Tales tell of sky-ships over Bristol, the silk-caped wraith of Dover’s Hill, snow foresters on the Cotswolds, and Cirencester’s dark-age drama of snake and nipple. They uncover the tragic secrets of Berkeley Castle and the Gaunts’ Chapel, a lonely ghost haunting an ancient inn, and twenty-first-century beasts in the Forest of Dean. From the intrigue and romance of town and abbey to the faery magic of the wild, here are thirty of the county’s most enchanting tales, brought imaginatively to life by a dynamic local storyteller.
Tales from the folklore of Gloucestershire reworked by local storytellers for children aged 7-11
From the strange conspiracy that placed a changeling on the throne of England to the brave pig that saved the city of Gloucester during the Civil War, these twenty stories trace the folktales and legends of Gloucestershire over the past few hundred years.
Part of the successful county folklore series - this book is packed full of superstitions, customs and old wives tales. A great book for anybody in or around Gloucestershire, or with an interest in the rich folklore of the United Kingdom. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900's and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
