These lively and entertaining folk tales from one of Britain's most ancient counties are vividly retold by local storyteller Kirsty Hartsiotis. Their origins lost in the oral tradition, these thirty stories from Wiltshire reflect the wisdom of the county and its people. From the Giant's Dance to the Great Western Railway, no stone is left unturned to discover the roots of the county. Discover the Moonraker's passages and Merlin's trickery, dabchicks and the devil, the flying monk of Malmesbury and a canal ghost story. These tales have all stood the test of time, and remain classic texts that will be enjoyed time and again by modern readers.

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.
