This book draws on the long and unique heritage of the county of
Somerset, bringing to life seventy of the little known but fascinating
and unusual aspects of a much-loved county. It tells, in a single
volume, tales of body-snatchers and bewitchment; crime and conflict;
lepers and lighthouses; songs and words; heroes and villains - this is
book is of and for the curious. Its accounts of larger-than-life
episodes from Somerset activity, locations and people take the reader on
a near-unbelievable exploration of local human behaviour and
idiosyncrasy. Richly illustrated, this book is great for dipping into,
but can equally be enjoyed from cover to cover.
