The ancient county of Gloucestershire is steeped in folklore and unique traditions. Its landscapes encompass the Cotswold uplands which became wealthy in the Middle Ages through the wool trade, the Forest of Dean and its mining history and the River Severn with its valley flatlands. Alongside stories of dragons, ghosts, witches, saints and sinners, flood, fire and hidden treasure are old customs handed down through the ages. Here one will find the Witch of Berkeley, Tom Long, the highwayman, the Deerhurst Dragon, mummers and morris dancers and cheese throwing amongst many other tales and traditions. Illustrated Tales of Gloucestershire will explore Gloucestershire's hidden history where legend, folklore and reality are intertwined in a compelling story of the county's often magical past and present-day traditions.
These strange and spooky stories are accompanied by illustrations of places featured in the text, both present-day and historical, in this hugely entertaining book.
