The spectacular and varied landscape of Dorset, with its giants,
hill forts, Jurassic coast and ancient buildings is the source and
inspiration for many curious stories that have been passed down in
families and village communities for generations. This book
contains a rich and diverse collection of those ancient legends
rooted in the oral tradition. From the absorbing tales of the Old
King of Corfe and the Thorncombe Thorn to the intriguing Buttons on
a Card and George Pitman and the Dragon, these illustrated stories
bring alive the landscape of the county's rolling hills and
coastline. Dorset actor, singer and storyteller Tim Laycock has a
lifelong interest in the folklore and oral traditions of the
county. Many of the stories in this collection have been passed on
to him by Dorset residents, and appear here in print for the first
time.
