Devon ghost tales

dictionaries

These spooky ghost tales from one of Britain's most ancient counties are vividly retold by local storyteller Janet Dowling. Their origins lost in the oral tradition, these 30 stories from Devon are as eerie and mysterious as the windswept moorland, wild shorelines and rugged landscapes from which they derive. Here you will find stories of drowned pirates, headless horsemen, and the specters of smugglers in moonlit coves. Richly illustrated with thirty original drawings, these atmospheric tales are perfect for reading aloud in front of a roaring fire or alone under the covers on dark, stormy nights
