Illustrated Tales of Lancashire
About this book
Lancashire is one of England's most diverse counties, with a rich heritage and a fascinating and often shocking history. Local author and historian David Paul brings us some of the county's strange and mythical tales, bringing together a whole range of places, events and people that are seldom mentioned in standard histories or guides. Interesting remains, strange happenings, hoaxes, witchcraft and incredible legends are all featured in Illustrated Tales of Lancashire. It's an unusual mix of the curious, the quaint and the mysterious, where even those who know this north-western county well will find something new and surprising.
