These lively and entertaining folk tales from one of Britain's most ancient counties are vividly retold by local storyteller The Journey Man. Their origins lost in the oral tradition, these thirty stories from Cheshire reflect the wisdom (and eccentricities) of the county and its people. Cheshire has a rich and diverse collection of tales, from the stories of some of Britain's most famous mythical heroes, to tales of demons, dragons, boggarts and sniddlebogs. These stories, illustrated with twenty-five line drawings, bring alice the landscape of the county's rolling hills and fertile plains.

The Journey Man is a professional storyteller who has been telling stories across the world for over twenty years. For the last few years he has been gathering folk tales from across his home county of Cheshire and leading storytelling walks in the area. He has his own website www.thejourneyman.org.uk.
