Buckinghamshire Folk Tales

In this collection you will find stories from throughout Buckinghamshire: an ancient county with flowing rivers, Iron Age track ways, Roman roads, and the Chiltern Hills cutting their path across it. Where its woods once hid outlaws and highwaymen and its proximity to London made it popular with royalty, now busy motorways and new towns allow new residents to settle and make the stories of the future. Milton Keynes, known as a new town, is in reality home to many an old tale. AUTHOR 'One of England's best-known storytellers', The Guardian, 2010.
