| Publisher Description: Worcestershire is a county of contrasts, with one face turned to the buzz of Birmingham and the other turned towards the quiet of the West Country. Its folk tales reflect that dichotomy, with stories based in the fears and superstitions of village life and others evolving from the strains and pressures of a new industrial reality. |
