Book Description
With its wild eroding sea, its gentle rolling fields and tall churches, Suffolk is a county of contrasts. It may seem a kindly and civilised place, but in that sea, in the reed beds, the woods and even down dark town streets lurk strange beasts, ghosts and tricksters. These thirty traditional tales retold by storyteller Kirsty Hartsiotis take you into a hidden world of green children and wildmen, of lovers from beyond the grave and tricksy fairy folk. Shaped by generations of Suffolk mardle and wit, in these stories you'll discover the county's last dragon, the secret behind Black Shuck, saintly King Edmund and heroic King Raedwald, haunted airfields, broken-hearted mermaids and the exploits of the county's cunning folk. Embark on this journey around Suffolk and you'll find you're never far from a story.

Book Description
Excerpt from Merry Suffolk Master Archie and Other Tales: A Book of Folk-Lore The Folk-Lore in these pages has been collected from Suffolk Folk, and connected by the aid of stories. The Suffolk Sayings and Riddles have the same origin, and the Author has purposely not given the Suffolk dialect correctly broad from pity to those who do not understand it. In "The Bookman" for October, 1S93 (page 21), Mr. Francis Groom wrote: - "Suffolk has the distinction of having produced by far the best versions of the old Folk Lore hitherto collected in England." They are three only in number - 'Cap o' Rushes, ' 'Tom Tit Tot, ' and 'Brother Mike.' They were contributed to a set of 'Suffolk Notes and Queries, ' that I edited sixteen years ago for the Ipswich Journal. They are now being republished in an illustrated form by the Collectors, Mrs. Walter Thomas and Miss L. A. Fison, to whom as children they were told by their old nurse.
