Great news to be able to let page visitors know about a 'new' publication dedicated to the myths and traditions associated with our capital city.... but even better when it happens to be written by a friend of ours, Worcestershire author, Polly Jones!!
Released only last month, 'Legends And Folklore: London' is an 80 page book that offers a taste of some of the customs, events and characters
that have become part of London’s fascinating and varied culture. Leafing through the volume, the reader will discover a selection of some
of the odd events and people populating the myriad streets of this magnificent, old city over the centuries. Spanning from
legends of King Arthur and ancient Britain... to superstitions and
witchcraft... tales of giants, legends and myth throughout the checquered history of our bustling metropolis......!!
Regular visitors to this blog may well have seen a mention of Polly and her work previously, but - for the uninitiated - she is a freelance writer, with a keen interest in history, folklore,
and.... well.... basically.... anything with an 'unusual' slant!! Polly admits that she 'loves the weird and wonderful' and is fascinated by anything magical, macabre, or mythical.... which clearly makes her the perfect choice for penning the publication mentioned here!!
Her previous writings are varied and have taken the form of numerous projects for a number of different sources. Her interviews, reviews, articles, and other works have appeared in periodicals, online, and in non-fiction publications... including such sources as: 'Magical Folk: British And Irish Fairies: 500 AD To The Present', 'The Celtic Guide' magazine, 'Worcestershire Life',
'Mythology Magazine', 'The Spooky Isles' website, and
Radio Rivendell.
Copies of 'Legends And Folklore: London' can be obtained via your usual High Street stockists, or ordered online from Amazon at this LINK
