 Excellent.... May 22, 2006

Lore of the Land does exactly what it claims - it is a comprehensive A-Z of folklore, legends and ghost / paranormal tales organised by County. It's not in the right format to read in bulk, but is absolutely fascinating for local interest and research purposes.
Highly recommended - this is the most accurate and thorough book I have seen on the subject. Not cheap but worth it.
Beautiful and thorough November 8, 2005

This book is not only perfectly designed for browsing, but clearly very well researched.It works on various levels too. If you are touring or visiting England, or if you live here and want to delve into the legendary and curious aspects of England then just buy this book. It is also thorough enough to be an important source for researchers. It's also dedicated to the wonderful Katharine Briggs.
Beautiful and fascinating! October 26, 2005

I bought this as a birthday present for my mum but I'm going to have to get her another copy as I can't bring myself to part with it! The pictures are just fantastic: makes you realise just how many ghostly stories have built up around really famous places like Hampton Court and the Tower of London. But it's not just famous places that get a mention - really tiny villages like East Bergholt in Suffolk are in there too (the chirch was deprived of a steeple by the machinations of the devil, apparently). Highly recommended!
Great stuff November 16, 2008

The Lore of the Land: A Guide to England's Legends, from Spring-heeled Jack to the Witches of Warboys
I chose this book for my prizegiving and I was certainly not disappointed. It is really interesting and logically laid out and the beautiful photos and the sheer amount of information contained within it are astounding. It is quite thick with small print in order to fit as much as possible in it. Great stuff x
