Illustrated Tales of Derbyshire

I like a bit of local folklore me. This interesting book by David Paul takes us on a tour around Derbyshire (a county i am very fond of) and recounts some of the folklore at various spots around the county. The folklore includes tales of witches, stories of old mysteries and crimes and even an odd marriage. 

The stories are accompanied by photographs taken by the author of the various locations. A lovely book that includes well known Derbyshire towns like Bakewell and Chesterfield and also more obscure and little known villages too.

I do enjoy books like this, i have a number of similar books in my collection. The only thing this book could do with is a map of the locations included but that is a minor criticism.
