This unique collection of folk tales from Cumbria were collected as
fragments that the author has had to breathe life back into. From the
lore of the land to ghost stories, fairy stories, tales of the oak men,
and the true historical tales that inspired many of the famous and
haunting legends of Cumbria's wild landscape, no chair by the fireside
is complete without it. These tales will make you want to visit the
places where they happened and meet some of the characters who told them
to the author.
