✦ Synopsis

Whether hailing from the open Yorkshire Dales or the close-knit neighbourhoods of its towns and cities, North Yorkshire folk have always been fond of a good tale. This collection of stories from around the county is a tribute to their narrative vitality, and commemorates places and people who have left their mark on their communities. Here you will find dragon-slayers, boggarts and giants, tragic love affairs, thwarted villainy, witches, fairies, ghosts and much more. Historical characters drift in and out of the stories, strangely transformed by the mists of legend; Dick Turpin, St HIlda, General Wade, St Oswald, Mother Shipton, Ragnar Hairy Breeches; characters as rugged and powerful as the landscape they stride. These intriguing stories, brought to life with over thirty illustrations, will be enjoyed by readers time and again.
