Part of the successful county folklore series - this book is packed full of superstitions, customs and old wives tales. A great book for anybody in or around Yorkshire, or with an interest in the rich folklore of the United Kingdom. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900's and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

East Yorkshire is ripe with tales of fairy gold and illusive characters. The county's folklore is engrained in every port, cliff and bridge, passed on through whispered accounts of witches long dead, legends of strange creatures or the bawdy tales of adventuring heroes. Filey Brigg was once a dragon, the people of Skinningrove held a merman captive, and Eskdale's Beggar's Bridge holds a love story in its history. By night a mysterious traveller stalked Bowes Moor, with a shrivelled Hand of Glory in his grasp ... These engaging stories, brought to life with charming illustrations, will be enjoyed by readers time and again.

Excerpt from Folk Lore of East Yorkshire The learning of the common folk, acquired by tradition, experience, or observation, and epitomised under the comprehensive title of Folk Lore, has, in these late years, received much attention, and its study has been prosecuted with due diligence and increasing interest. Learning and culture have given their invaluable aid, and scholars have traversed the treasures of the past, and have shewn us that the hoary antiquity of the Pyramids is not whiter than that which is borne by some of our nursery tales; that many of these tales are world wide; and that old customs, speech, and beliefs, linger with a tenacity which is difficult to loosen. The superstitious Welsh miners in the Morfa Colliery, who caused a special examination of the pit to be made, in consequence of "spirits and noises and slamming of doors," previous to the disastrous explosion, are but typical of the great mass of people whose lives are more governed by folk lore than by book lore.
