Gloucestershire Folk Tales

Gloucestershire-s stories go back to the days of Sabrina, spirit of the Severn, and the Nine Hags of Gloucester. Tales tell of sky-ships over Bristol, the silk-caped wraith of Dover-s Hill, snow foresters on the Cotswolds, and Cirencester-s dark-age drama of snake and nipple. They uncover the tragic secrets of Berkeley Castle and the Gaunts- Chapel, a lonely ghost haunting an ancient inn, and twenty-first-century beasts in the Forest of Dean. From the intrigue and romance of town and abbey to the faery magic of the wild, here are thirty of the county-s most enchanting tales, brought imaginatively to life by a dynamic local storyteller.
