Folklore of the Welsh Border by Andrew Simpson

Folklore of the Welsh Border by Andrew Simpson

Revised and updated edition of Jacqueline Simpson's 1970s study of folklore traditions in the counties on both sides of the Welsh Border, including stories of witches, ghosts and giants. There are tales relating to local monuments and features of the landscape and tales explaining some of the traditions that are still upheld in the twenty-first century. These stories, arising from ancient beliefs and originating in an oral tradition of storytelling, provide a fascinating insight into a bygone era.

ANDREW SIMPSON writes and lectures on the history of Chorlton-cum-Hardy and Manchester. He retired from teaching after thirty-five years and has been active in the politics of the city for over forty years. He is the author of The Story of Chorlton-cum- Hardy, has collaborated on Didsbury Through Time, The Story of Hough End Hall and Manchester Pubs, and is currently writing a book on the history of the Manchester and Salford Boys’ and Girls’ Refuges and Homes as well as also working on a history of Alexandra Park. Andrew lives in Chorlton.
