A rare chronicle of northern English lore. Voices of the north linger. Part II of the 1888 Monthly Chronicle Of North-Country Lore And Legend, this anonymous victorian folklore anthology gathers regional myth and legend, historical folk tales and the rural superstitions England carried in everyday speech and domestic routine. Assembled as a monthly chronicle, the material moves from short village notices to longer recollections of place-bound belief; the prose favours plain report over theatrical retelling, which lends the entries a sense of authenticity. Readers encounter north country traditions in direct detail: seasonal rites, tales of omen and mischance, household rules and folk remedies - the small customs that bound communities. That blend of wry observation and steady seriousness makes the collection both a british legends collection for enthusiasts of tales of old England and a readable treasury for local history readers and writers seeking texture from nineteenth century England. Although unsigned, the entries show a clear interest in provenance and place, and in the accumulation of small facts that together sketch a living cultural map rather than a fictional past. Historically and literarily important, the chronicle opens a window onto Victorian era Britain and the everyday logic of rural life. It is valuable to scholars and to those who collect british folklore classics, and it makes an ideal folklore enthusiasts gift for anyone drawn to regional myth and legend. The volume sits comfortably between antiquarian study and popular reading: accessible enough for casual readers, primary enough for specialists. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. Prepared for casual readers and classic-literature collectors alike, this edition keeps the original spirit while making the material effortless to enjoy and easy to revisit.
