Discover the myths, legends, and mythical creatures that have shaped England's identity.
From the gas-lit streets of Victorian London where Spring-Heeled Jack terrorised the city, to the bluestones of Stonehenge dragged from Wales by unknown hands, England's landscape holds stories where history and folklore intertwine.
Inside Myths From England, you'll encounter:
- Legendary Heroes - King Arthur and how his legend grew over centuries, Robin Hood before Hollywood reinvented him, and Wayland the Smith whose Norse revenge tale softened into English folklore
- Terrifying Black Dogs - Black Shuck, the phantom hound of East Anglia, and the Barghest, Yorkshire's spectral beast that announced death before it came
- Ancient Mysteries - Stonehenge and its myths, the cursed Rollright Stones, and the Green Children of Woolpit who emerged speaking an unknown language
- Mischievous Spirits - Hobgoblins, pixies, and boggarts - the household spirits and tricksters blamed for every mishap in English homes
- Dark Folklore - The Wild Hunt thundering across winter skies, the Pendle Witches and the panic that killed them, and Spring-Heeled Jack, the fire-breathing figure who sparked a Victorian panic
- Symbols of England - The Tower ravens and the surprising origin of their legend, the Green Man carved into church walls, and St George's dragon
Each myth is explored with its historical roots, regional variations, and the grain of truth that may lie beneath the storytelling. The places are real. You can visit them.
Whether you're fascinated by English history, love folklore and mythology, or enjoy a well-told story, Myths From England is for you.
