Step off the main road into rural Devon, England, where every hollow lane and windswept moor seems to harbour a story. Here the ordinary world thins. Listen for the old whispers. In A Peep At The Pixies; Or, Legends Of The West, Mrs. Bray gathers a rich Victorian folklore collection of devonshire local legends, fairy traditions, and uncanny tales rooted in West Country mythology. Part british legends anthology, part fairy lore classic, these narratives move between the everyday and the enchanted, tracing how pixies and fairies, omens, and haunted places lived in local memory. Bray writes close to lived experience, attentive to custom, landscape, and the way a rumour becomes a belief. It offers a textured snapshot of how community, faith, and superstition intertwined, and why the West Country remained, to Victorian readers, one of Britain's most storied corners today. The result suits a quiet evening read or sharing as bedtime fairy stories, while also serving as a folklore study reference for anyone tracing regional tradition across nineteenth century Britain. First published in the flowering of Victorian fairy literature, this volume stands among the English folk tale classics that helped shape how later readers imagined the West Country as a landscape of wonder. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike, and a rewarding companion for lovers of legend, local history, and classic storytelling.
