These engaging folk tales from Cumbria were collected as fragments
that the author has brought back to life. Shaped by the natural
world, local customs and generations of chattering, these
traditional tales reflect the unique Cumbrian wit and wisdom.
Herein you will find intriguing accounts of Hunchback and the Swan,
the Screaming Skulls of Calgarth, the Millom Hob Thross, Hughie the
Graeme, Cumbrian Crack, and Billy Peascod's Harp. They will make
you want to visit the places where they happened and meet some of
the characters that feature in them. Including charming
illustrations from the local artist Steven Gregg, this captivating
collection will be enjoyed by readers time and again. Taffy Thomas
has lived in Grasmere for well over thirty years, and is a highly
experienced storyteller with a repertoire of more than 300 tales.
In the 2001 New Year Honours List he was awarded the MBE for
services to storytelling and charity, and in 2010 was appointed as
the first UK Storyteller Laureate.
