With its wild eroding sea, its gentle rolling fields and tall churches, Suffolk is a county of contrasts.  It may seem a kindly and civilized place, but in that sea, in the reed beds, the woods, and even down dark town streets lurk strange beasts, ghosts, and tricksters. These 30 traditional tales retold by storyteller Kirsty Hartsiotis take you into a hidden world of green children and wildmen, of lovers from beyond the grave and tricksy fairy folk. Shaped by generations of Suffolk mardle and wit, in these stories you’ll discover the county's last dragon, the secret behind Black Shuck, saintly King Edmund and heroic King Raedwald, haunted airfields, broken-hearted mermaids, and the exploits of the county’s cunning folk.  Embark on this journey around Suffolk and you’ll find you’re never far from a story.
