Flaptekst boek met verhalen over het Engelse graafschap Devon
The beautiful county of Devon is one of the most popular of English counties. Here is a collection of strange tales and local legends from the county.
Devon’s landscape and history is steeped in its folklore and legends. In Illustrated Tales of Devon, author John Husband explores a multitude of mysterious happenings and strange tales from ancient times to the modern day. The book looks at the legends surrounding Dartmoor’s pixies, sightings of the Devil, hairy hands menacing drivers, the true Uncle Tom Cobley at Widecombe Fair, a murderous monk and a postman poet, one of the first air accidents, an inn designed as a pack of cards built by a gambler and a housing estate and pleasure gardens built on the proceeds of a cough syrup… and much more.
These strange and remarkable stories are accompanied by the author’s photographs of places featured in the text in this hugely entertaining book.
John Husband grew up in the Cornish fishing village of Gorran Haven and has always lived in the county. He has spent his career in the clay industry, has a PhD in Paper Science from the University of Manchester and is a Fellow of the Technical Association of the Paper Industry. He is also a keen photographer and writer and has written articles for The Lady, The Countryman, This England, Evergreen and The People’s Friend.
