If you love magic and adventure, here is the book for you. In this treasure trove of tales, storyteller Michael O’ Leary has collected stories from the Hampshire Downs (which are up), the New Forest (which is old), the copses and coppices, fields and farms, villages, towns and cities of Hampshire. In these stories you will meet dragons, giants, knights, princesses and some vile Vikings– and of course the Liphook fairies. From ‘Once upon a time…’ to ‘Happy ever after’ you will be transported to Hampshire, where even the stones have stories to tell.
Michael O'Leary is a professional storyteller who has authored several folk tales books for The History Press. After leaving school he spent a life wandering, working in Ireland, Norway and Greece before settling in Hampshire. In his thirties, he studied Geography before becoming a primary school teacher, where he honed his storytelling skills. Michael has always been fascinated by the relationship between stories and place, and as a storyteller travelled extensively, telling stories everywhere from Crossmaglen in South Armagh to Prague to botanical gardens in New Zealand.
