Legend Land, Vol. 2 Being a Collection of Some of the Old Tales Told in Those Western Parts of Britain Served by the Great Western Railway

A lively anthology of western Britain’s most enduring folklore, this volume gathers the haunting tales that have echoed across Devon’s moorlands and Cornwall’s cliffs for centuries. From the fiery legend of a summit‑crowned church claimed by the Devil at Brent Tor to the curious mischief of a piskie’s funeral, each story is steeped in the rugged landscape that shaped its imagination. The narratives are narrated with a light, conversational voice that invites listeners to picture mist‑shrouded hills, ancient stone circles, and the echo of distant church bells while the supernatural quietly intervenes in everyday life.

The collection also revisits historic threads, such as the Spectre Coach that haunts a Cornish parish and the mysterious lost land of Lyonesse, offering just enough history to ground the myths without spoiling their wonder. Accompanied by a charming supplement of Padstow May Day songs, the booklet feels like a journey through a living museum of myth, perfect for anyone who loves a good ghostly yarn or a quiet countryside legend.
