This is a children's book. But it is for real children. It is a book of buried treasure, people-eating giants, sleeping kings and a monster fish. There's fire, wee, milk and missing body parts. It's a book that's got the bits adults don't like left in. These are stories of Shropshire. They are old and wild, like the land itself. If you like giants having their heads lopped off, girls who won't do what they're told, knights fighting with lances, one-armed ghosts and grumpy witches, then this is the book for you.

In places, Shropshire has traditional patchwork fields and hedgerows; in others, small villages and market towns with black and white half-timbered buildings. But it also has places that are still wild – hills where heather and bracken cling to the rocks while peewits call overhead and strange rock formations jut to the sky, casting their shadows over the countryside below. The thirty stories in this new collection have grown out of the county's diverse landscapes: tales of the strange and macabre; memories of magic and other worlds; proud recollections of folk history; stories to make you smile, sigh and shiver. Moulded by the land, weather and generations of tongues wagging, these traditional tales are full of Shropshire wit and wisdom, and will be enjoyed time and again.

Herein you will find 74 illustrated children’s stories from Old England. This is a collection of fairy tales, folk tales and other stories categorised into Ghosts, Goblins, Fairies, Historical and Legends, Nursery Tales, Giants, and Witchcraft. Tales include, The Haunted House, The Witch And The Toad, The Fairy Thieves, The Fairy Funeral, Jack And The Bean-Stalk, The Legend Of The Sons Of The Conqueror, The Blinded Giant, The Demon Tregeagle, The Haunted Widower, Spectre-Dogs, The Wise Fools Of Gotham, and many, many more. These tales serve to justify the title of “Merrie England”, a title which in older days was given to England, indicating the nation’s capacity for fun and humour among the English. The story of Tom Tit Tot, which opens the collection, is unequalled among all other folk-tales, for its combined sense of humour and dramatic power. So take some time out and travel back to a period before television, or even radio for that matter, when families would gather around a crackling and spitting hearth and granddad or grandma or an uncle or aunt would delight and captivate their audience with stories passed on to them from their mothers, fathers and grandparents. ======= KEYWORDS: fairy tales, folklore, myths, legends, children’s stories, children’s stories, bygone era, fairydom, fairy land, classic stories, children’s bedtime stories, fables, English Fairy Tales, English Folk Tales, enchanting, castle, fair maids, love, youth, flowers, fate, ungrateful, gold, fairies, spring, summer, illustrated, illustrations, Jack, Giant-Killer, Princess, Canterbury, Colchester, Mr. Fox, Tom Tit Tot, Jack, Bean-Stalk, Historical, Local, Saint Kenelm, Wild Edric, Lady Godiva, Sons Of The Conqueror, Becket's Parents, Fause Fable, Lord Lathom, Whittington, Cat, Pedlar, Swaffham, Lambton Worm, Bomere Pool, Giants, Wrekin, wreakin, Blinded Giant, Worcestershire, Midwife, Adventure, Cherry, Zennor, Funeral, Piskies, Cellar, Edwin, Sir Topaz, Serving, Damsels, Tulip Bed, Fisherman, Piskies, Colman Grey, King, Queen, prince, Midridge, Green Children, Banquet, Horn, Fair, Caldron, Cauld Lad, Hilton, Hylton, Thieves, Boggart, Ainsel, Rollright Stones, Goblins, Dando, Dogs, Demon Tregeagle, Parson, Clerk, Outwit, Bogie, Hunted Hare, Well, St. Ludgvan, Hedley Kow, Witchcraft, Lord, Pengerswick, Witch, Toad, Hare, Hand Of Glory, Betty Chidley, Bag, Flour, Kentsham, Bell, Ghosts, Bishop, Clergyman, Haunted House, Ghost-Laying, Roaring Bull, Bagbury, White Lady, Blenkinsopp, Haunted, Widower, Rosewarne, Lady, Lantern, Spectre, Dogs, Billy B, Drolls, Wise Fools, Gotham, Three Wishes, Miller, Professor, Examination, Stupid, Mistaken, Cries, Three Sillies, Mr. Vinegar, Lazy Jack, Tom Thumb

How is this book unique? Font adjustments & biography included Unabridged (100% Original content) Formatted for e-reader Illustrated About A Shropshire Lad by A. E. Housman A Shropshire Lad is a collection of sixty-three poems by the English poet Alfred Edward Housman (26 March 1859 - 30 April 1936). Some of the better-known poems in the book are "To an Athlete Dying Young", "Loveliest of Trees, the Cherry Now", "The Lent Lily" and "When I Was One-and-Twenty". The collection was published in 1896. Housman originally titled the book The Poems of Terence Hearsay, referring to a character there, but changed the title at the suggestion of his publisher. A Shropshire Lad contains several repeated themes. It is not a connected narrative, though it can be read as an allegory of a heart's journey through life. The "I" of the poems, the authorial person, is in two cases named as Terence (VIII, LXII), the "Shropshire Lad" of the title. However, the poems are not all in the same voice and the stories they tell are not intended as a single coherent narrative.The collection begins by paying tribute to the Shropshire lads who have died as soldiers in the service of Queen Victoria, as her golden jubilee (1887) is celebrated with a beacon bonfire at Clee (I). There is little time for a lad to live and enjoy the spring (II). Death awaits the soldier (III-IV). Maids are not always kind (V-VI) and the farmer also comes to the grave (VII). Some lads murder their brothers and are hanged (VIII-IX). Love may be unrequited (X). A dead lad's ghost begs the consolation of a last embrace (XI). Unattainable love leaves the lad helpless and lost (XIII-XVI). The playing of a game of cricket or football consoles a broken heart (XVII). The athlete who died young was lucky, for he did not outlive his renown (XIX). The poet exchanges a glance with a marching soldier and wishes him well, though thinking they will never cross paths again (XXII). He envies the country lads who die young and do not grow old (XXIII). Quick, while he is alive and young, allow him to work beside you! (XXIV). A lover may die, and his girl will walk out with another (XXV-XXVII). The hostility of the ancient Saxon and Briton are in his blood, and he owes his life to violence and rape (XXVIII). The storm on Wenlock Edge symbolizes the same turmoil in his soul as the Romans knew at Wroxeter (XXXI). He is here but for a moment - take this hand! (XXXII) But if he is of no use to them that he loves, he will go away, perhaps to be a soldier (XXXIV, XXXV). Or one may live an exile from home in London, but without forgetting home and friends (XXXVII, XXXVIII).
