Forgotten Yorkshire Folk and Fairy Tales

Om Forgotten Yorkshire Folk and Fairy Tales

A collection of rarely heard fairy tales from across Yorkshire, plus some local folklore. It has around fifty tales of dragons, giants, hobs, fairies, witches and other folk, or fairy, tales based in Yorkshire. Most of these are unchanged, or with very minor changes, to the versions found in old (out of copyright) books, though I've tended to soften the dialect to make them easier to read. A few, however, have had slightly more significant changes as the older versions I found were a little brief, and I took a mixture of these and newer versions to retell the story. A couple I've told completely from scratch, building on tiny scraps of local legend, where I could not find a proper story associated with them. A such there are a range of voices and types of stories to be found inside, plus a little extra folklore too.
