Suffolk Folk Tales by Kirsty Hartsiotis

These lively and entertaining folk tales from one of Britain's most ancient counties are vividly retold by Kirsty Hartsiotis. Their origins lost in the oral tradition, these stories from Suffolk reflect the wisdom (and eccentricities) of the county and its people. Suffolk has a rich and diverse collection of tales, from stories of the Orford merman and the green children of Woolpit to legends of sunken cities and demonic black dogs. These highly readable tales, richly illustrated with line drawings, bring alive the landscape of the county's rich and fertile plains.
KIRSTY HARTSIOTIS is a popular Stroud-based storyteller. With Anthony Nanson, in their company Fire Springs, they have performed widely in Britain and beyond and co-authored Gloucestershire Folk Tales. Kirsty is the author of Wiltshire Folk Tales and Suffolk Folk Tales and co-author of Suffolk Ghost Tales, and combines storytelling and writing with work as a museum curator in Cheltenham.
