Just a little note to say that we've recently been made aware of a cracking website, 'Mysteries Of Mercia', created by the author, Hugh Williams. (Click on highlighted title for link to page).
While I've only had time to briefly skim over the page currently, it's clear that it's a well constructed and most informative site, which I'm sure will be highly interesting to our page visitors! As a proud 'Mercian' myself, I love nothing more than to see the folklore of our Midland counties being outlined and discussed in such a manner. Fascinating reading for anyone that makes this region their home... or, equally, for any of you pesky 'outsiders' simply interested in a highly enjoyable trudge into 'the lore of our land', for that matter too! Lol!
"A fascinating journey around the Midlands of England, walking the borderlands between history, folklore and the paranormal. The name Mercia means "borderlands" in Old English and this is the concept Hugh Williams uses to take the reader on a series of strolls, hikes, even overnight camps - around some of the most mysterious and iconic places in the Midlands.
Expect to learn about cunning folk, ritual murders, Arthurian legends and cryptozoological beasts on this ten chapter journey, nicely illustrated along the way".
If the brief description above has served to 'whet your appetite' - as it most surely should have done, we reckon! - then copies of Hugh's book can be obtained from this LINK.
