New tellings of half-forgotten tales from England's 39 historic counties - from the hit podcast Three Ravens. England's historic counties are overflowing with folklore, and this collection of 39 stories from the hit podcast Three Ravens reimagines dozens of classic tales in surprising, spooky, and often hilarious ways. Including tales of ghosts, mermaids, crafty witches, mythical monsters, half-forgotten heroes, bloody legends and more, the stories span centuries and styles. Do you know the legends of the giants who ruled England before the first human kings? What about the demon dog Black Shuck who terrorised sixteenthth-century Norfolk? Or the many times the Devil has tried to get his way before being outwitted by everyday people? AUTHORS: Eleanor and Martin are the hosts of the Three Ravens Podcast. They are a couple who are both award-winning writers, Eleanor winning the Dead Cat Poetry Prize in 2019 and Martin winning the BBC Moo! New Writers Prize in 2009.
