Description
Sussex Folk Tales by Michael O'Leary is a collection of lively and entertaining stories from one of Britain's most ancient counties. Retold by local storyteller Mike O'Leary, these tales reflect the wisdom and eccentricities of the county and its people. Originating in the oral tradition, these stories bring to life the landscape of Sussex's rolling hills and dramatic coast. With 25 line drawings, they vividly illustrate the county's rich and diverse collection of legends, including those of witches, wise women, and ghosts. Mike O'Leary is a professional storyteller with almost 30 years of experience retelling traditional folk tales across the country.
