Publisher's Summary:

Great Britain is an ancient land steeped in history and tradition, filled with prehistoric ruins, majestic castles, and a countryside sculpted from millennia of human habitation. Its rolling countryside is dotted with prehistoric burial mounds and stone circles. Brooding castles hold tales of bloodshed and honor. Medieval churches have elaborate stained glass windows and gruesome carvings, reflecting a mixture of hope and darkness. Every hamlet and village has tales that go back centuries, and folk festivals with roots in pagan times.

Not everything in Great Britain is as it appears, however. Some say this is a land haunted by spirits, a place of strange disappearances and unexplained phenomena. For centuries, people have told tales of ghosts stalking its historic buildings, strange creatures lurking in its primeval forests, and unexplained paths linking its ancient sites. There is no shortage when it comes to the strange stories the region has to offer, and the legends and lore have compelled many to dig a little deeper and even explore this wonderful land for themselves.

More Than Just Loch Ness, Ghosts and Crop Circles...

...made for an interesting if unusual stroll down 'history' lane as well. Learned about the thieving escapades of Colonel Blood, assassination attempts on King George III and prison escapes of Jack Sheppard. Know to avoid being an ale-conner (sampling could give you food poisoning), that chimney sweeps aren't a fine profession as to black lung and deformities as well as what 'toshing' involved. Most interesting to me were realizing Fatbergs could approach the size of a Boeing 747, that you don't want to be digging in empty lots in downtown London (there are much worse things than radon) and as for cannibalistic clans running rampant for 25 years the family of Sawney Beane seem tough to beat. Great book overall and I did enjoy!

and people who are interested in ghost stories and unexplained phenomena will also enjoy it.

This compilation of odd legends and folk tales will interest anyone who likes British history, and people who are interested in ghost stories and unexplained phenomena will also enjoy it.Â
