Suffolk Strange But True describes many unusual, odd and
extraordinary people, places and events from this fascinating
county. Featured within these pages are tales of 'the fasting woman
of Shottisham', who was alleged not to have eaten for five months;
the Suffolk man who invented the word 'communism'; local heroines;
pioneering entrepreneurs; spectacular ruins and castles; lost towns
and villages; extraordinary pets and animals; and unusual art
treasures found in Suffolk churches. Local customs, folklore and
legends are also examined, including 'the race of the bogmen', and
the Southwold competition to discover an 'alternative umbrella'.
Using a range of old and new illustrations, Robert Halliday tells
an entertaining alternative history of Suffolk that will fascinate
residents and visitors alike.
