'Since man uttered his first word he has been telling stories for
entertainment, to serve as warnings and to simply pass the time.'
Huddled up against the end of Hadrian's Wall, the county of Tyne
and Wear is known for its wealth of historical sites, for castles,
the Venerable Bede, and stotty cakes. But did you know about
Sunderland's brush with the greatest liar on earth, or the
widespread mesmerism of the Victorian era? And what's the
connection with all these Americans? This is an eclectic collection
of local characters and historical oddities, of short (and tall)
tales that perfectly illustrate just how weird Tyne and Wear can
truly be.
