Devon Folk Tales for Children

This lively collection of stories will take you on an adventure through the ancient lands of Devon. It is a book of wonder and magic with goblins tinkering in the old ore mines and Piskies playing on the old pack routes trodden by the feet of Dartmoor ponies. Join me in my journey through a rich heritage of folk tales and lore woven with the murmurings of wandering rivers, soaring with the buzzards over farm and field, galloping with russet ponies over Exmoor, and making soft tracks across the sands of the wild Devon coastline. It’s a magical terrain where old place names like ‘Black Dog’ and ‘Fairy Cross’ are signs along the way to a treasure trove of stories.
