Old Warwickshire, the ancient heart of England, encompassed many iconic historic sites. Coventry, Rugby, Warwick, Stratford-upon-Avon and Birmingham, among others, all had tales to tell. Equally fascinating are the stories of the people, the virtuous and the villainous, who lived in the greenwoods and rolling hills of this celebrated county.
Here are the folk tales passed from teller to listener over centuries, and the legends of the region’s famous sons and daughters. From Lady Godiva and Dick Turpin, to the murderous Foxcote Feud and Coventry’s claim to Saint George, storyteller Cath Edwards retells these tales and more with verve, vitality and vivid original illustrations.
CATH EDWARDS is an experienced storyteller and workshop leader. As a teacher, she worked with children through story and for many years she has also enjoyed telling stories to adult audiences. Her repertoire is largely based on tradition and folk tales, and she revels in sourcing stories, making them her own and passing them on so that her audiences can love them as much as she does. She is co-host of a storytelling club in Lichfield.
