Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In places, Shropshire has traditional patchwork fields and hedgerows; in others, small villages and market towns with black and white half-timbered buildings. But it also has places that are still wild - hills where heather and bracken cling to the rocks while peewits call overhead and strange rock formations just to the sky, casting their shadows over the countryside below. The thirty stories in this new collection have grown out of the county's diverse landscapes: tales of the strange and macabre; memories of magic and other worlds; proud recollections of folk history; stories to make you smile, sigh and shiver. Moulded by the land, weather and generations of tongues wagging, these traditional tales are full of Shropshire wit and wisdom, and will be enjoyed time and again. Honoured in the 'Storytelling Collections' at the Storytelling World Awards - See more at: http://www.thehistorypress.co.uk/index.php/shropshire-folk-tales.html#sthash.un5jLcDV.dpuf
