Old Warwickshire, the ancient heart of England, encompassed many iconic historic sites. Coventry, Rugby, Warwick, Stratford-upon-Avon and Birmingham, among others, all had tales to tell. Equally fascinating are the stories of the people, the virtuous and the villainous, who lived in the greenwoods and rolling hills of this celebrated county.
Here are the folk tales passed from teller to listener over centuries, and the legends of the region’s famous sons and daughters. From Lady Godiva and Dick Turpin, to the murderous Foxcote Feud and Coventry’s claim to Saint George, storyteller Cath Edwards retells these tales and more with verve, vitality and vivid original illustrations.
"The lovely illustrations throughout are done by Cath herself, proving she is very talented."
"Warwickshire Folk Tales contains a great balance of stories with ghostly, adventurous, romantic and even criminal themes – with happy and not-so-endings."
"Cath Edwards has cleverly split up connecting or longer stories into sections here, to be enjoyed separately or as part of the full tale. This makes the reading less daunting and I felt the whole book flowed very well as an enjoyable read."
