Down by the river

A nice piece from another book lent to us by David Watson. This one’s a Reader’s Digest one of all things from 1973 called Folklore, Myths and Legends of Britain. Well up my street with all sorts of bonkersness associated with this fair isle of ours. From uncountable standing stones, the Cottingley fairies, Armour-clad dead bodies appearing at funerals saying “I’m not ready yet” and a good bit on London in The Gold Paved City, it’s a book worth picking up second-hand. And yes I have watched The Wickerman a few times (as it makes me laugh a lot.) Bonkers! P
