Synopsis "Illustrated Tales of Staffordshire"

Staffordshire is renowned for its impressive industrial heritage and as one of the counties that drove the Industrial Revolution. In this book Helen Harwood looks at another aspect of the county's history: its rich folklore, which is all too often overlooked by the standard histories and guides.Here are the myths, legends, superstitions and customs that are an intrinsic part of Staffordshire's character and cultural heritage. Among the items featured are the annual tradition of the Abbots Bromley Horn Dance, the legend of the Burslem witch and some of the lesser-known customs such as the Boy Bishop and the Mock Mayor. Readers are also taken to some curious and mystical locations, which provided the setting for some unusual tales and bizarre events. In recognition of the county's industrial heritage the author highlights the old customs linked to pottery and mining.Illustrated throughout, this fascinating book reveals some strange and surprising aspects of Staffordshire's history that will both enlighten and entertain readers.
