More about the book

The book presents a collection of English folk-tales, highlighting the rich but often overlooked tradition of storytelling in England. It features a selection from over 140 tales, with many newly collected and previously unpublished. The author calls for contributions from readers to help uncover more stories, emphasizing the disconnect between the ruling classes and the working class, who possess a wealth of oral traditions. By sharing these tales, the aim is to create a shared cultural heritage and enhance the joy of storytelling across all social classes.
