Maybe it’s wrong to try and trap them in a book. Maybe you should set them free and tell them. Our ancestors liked them, that is why they passed them down to us. Read them, tell them and pass them on!As old as the moors and as wild as the sea, these tales are freshly re-told for today’s readers by Cornish storyteller Mike O’Connor.

This collection presents some wonderful tales of ordinary Londoners, but their stories are far from ordinary. They tell of the mighty river, the streets, and the hills of London. But you’ll also find stories of babies that turn into flowers, of a grown-up who becomes a child again, and of a youngster who has to travel across the world all alone. And you’ll meet the people of this welcoming city: ever since the Romans, people have come here from all over the world to become Londoners. They’ve brought delicious foods, funky music and hundreds of languages, but most of all great stories—London stories.

When you are in Somerset you are never far from mysterious caverns, whispering woods, hidden valleys and places which can’t decide whether they are seascapes or landscapes. The ancient Kings Arthur and Alfred hid amongst Somerset’s secret waterways, waging the wars and making treaties that forged Britain’s history. Outlaws and highwaymen lived on the wildest of moors that plummet into the sea. Ordinary people farmed the land and fished the waters alongside the Little People, the Fair Folk, the fairies and goblins that were as tricksy and unchancy to meet as any smuggler…In this collection, professional storyteller Sharon Jacksties has selected and reworked tales for children aged 7–11 to discover.

We love telling stories in Essex. It all started with nursery rhymes like Old King Cole, then came tales of adventure from our visitors from the sea like the Romans and the Vikings, and we have told stories ever since. This collection is full of stories that I have told over the years, and that children love to hear time and again. Including a gang of smugglers and intriguing riddles, not only will children love to read them, or listen to them being read, the tales will also stimulate an interest in the area, and help children engage with their own surroundings.
