Description

Take a walk through this county in the heart of England in the entertaining company of a local storyteller. Kevan Manwaring, born and raised in Northampton, regales you with tales ancient and modern. Learn how the farmer outwitted the bogle; how a Queen lost her head; about the first automobile murder in Britain; the Great Fire of Northampton; and the last execution of witches in England. Along the way you will meet incredible characters from history and myth: Boudicca, St Patrick, Robin Hood, Hereward the Wake, Captain Slash, Dionysia the female knight, beasts and angels, cobblers, and kings. From fairies to UFOs, these forty illustrated tales are ideal to be read out loud or used as a source book for your own performances. A great companion for any visit to the county, for fascinating days out and exciting treasures on your doorstep. The "rose of the shires" will open before you!
