Dartmoor Myths & Legends: Exploring Origins and Inspirations

Inside every seemingly strange story of giants, pixies, witches, dragons and big black hounds with fiery eyes, there is often a small kernel of truth. What are the real histories or possible origins behind the Devil at Widecombe Church, the Hairy Hands, the Hound of the Baskervilles, the Drizzlecombe Dragon, Bowerman's Nose and Jay's Grave, and more? This beautifully printed book retells ten well-known Dartmoor tales, including the Nine Dancing Maidens, Old Crockern, Kitty Jay and Lady Howard's Coach of Bones, each accompanied by a thoroughly researched exploration of its origins and inspirations, with original illustrations by Gina Hemery and full-colour photographs of Dartmoor by the author.
