We love telling stories in Essex. It all started with nursery rhymes like Old King Cole, then came tales of adventure from our visitors from the sea like the Romans and the Vikings, and we have told stories ever since. This collection is full of stories that I have told over the years, and that children love to hear time and again. Including a gang of smugglers and intriguing riddles, not only will children love to read them, or listen to them being read, the tales will also stimulate an interest in the area, and help children engage with their own surroundings. 25 b/w illustrations
