With its wild eroding sea, its gentle rolling fields and tall churches,
Suffolk is a county of contrasts. It may seem a kindly and civilised
place, but in that sea, in the reed beds, the woods and even down dark
town streets lurk strange beasts, ghosts and tricksters.
These thirty traditional tales retold by storyteller Kirsty Hartsiotis
take you into a hidden world of green children and wildmen, of lovers
from beyond the grave and tricksy fairy folk. Shaped by generations of
Suffolk mardle and wit, in these stories you'll discover the county's
last dragon, the secret behind Black Shuck, saintly King Edmund and
heroic King Raedwald, haunted airfields, broken-hearted mermaids and the
exploits of the county's cunning folk. Embark on this journey around
Suffolk and you'll find you're never far from a story.
