But in the middle of the eighteenth century, when the Peak District was remote and dangerous, two runaway lovers were robbed and murdered there - or so the story goes. The tale was recorded within living memory of the alleged incident. Over the succeeding two and a quarter centuries, numerous other versions have been recorded, so the legend of the Murders in the Winnats Pass has been transformed through a long chain of storytellers. How has the story changed since its 'original version', why did those changes come about, and how does the legend as we have it today relate to the historical facts of the case - if there really was a case?  The story of the Murders in the Winnats Pass provides a unique insight into the ways in which legends grow in the telling: few, if any, other folktales exist in so many versions, recorded and preserved over such an extended period. This book explores how and why the story has changed and examines the evidence for a historical basis, using numerous primary sources and original research evidence.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49510308184337,"sku":"GOR003261847","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49982679580945,"sku":"GOR010406930","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53251898573073,"sku":"GOR011374593","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53408486523153,"sku":"GOR014911060","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1445600145.jpg?v=1777714366"},{"product_id":"folktales-of-the-peak-district-book-mark-p-henderson-9781445601076","title":"Folktales of the Peak District","description":"The Peak District is noted for its beautiful and varied scenery, its fascinating history, and its abundance of folktales. The sixty-two pieces in this collection include both wonder tales (fairy tales) and local legends, together with a few genuinely historical stories that have caught the popular imagination. Some of the tales are tragic, some are comic; some are very short, some are longer; many (even the historical ones) have ghost-story elements, which readily attach themselves to real-life stories. What they all have in common is that they reflect aspects of Peak District life, character, scenery and history. All the stories in this collection are written with recitation in mind, because folktales are for telling aloud. Notes at the end of the collection explain the sources and significance of each tale. Sketch maps are included to indicate the locations in which the tales are set, so interested readers can visit the scenes, most of which are illustrated by the author's photographs. Many of these locations are easily accessible by road, but some involve significant walks through the countryside that gave birth to the stories. Folktales of the Peak District will charm its readers and enhance their appreciation of this lovely part of England.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49555678101777,"sku":"GOR007316388","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49780310343953,"sku":"NGR9781445601076","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53333466317073,"sku":"GOR005869136","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1445601079.jpg?v=1777714686"},{"product_id":"black-harry-book-mark-p-henderson-9781913432683","title":"Black Harry","description":"\u003cp\u003eWilliam Dickenson, man of business to the earl of Shrewsbury, knows that raising the rents on farmholds will ease his master's cash-flow problem.
