Hampshire Folk Tales for Children

By Michael O'Leary and Su Eaton

If you love magic and adventure, here is the book for you. In this treasure trove of tales, storyteller Michael O’Leary has collected stories from the Hampshire Downs (which are up), the New Forest (which is old), the copses and coppices, fields and farms, villages, towns and cities of Hampshire. In these stories you will meet dragons, giants, knights, princesses and some vile Vikings – and of course the Liphook fairies. From ‘Once upon a time …’ to ‘Happy ever after’ you will be transported to Hampshire, where even the stones have stories to tell.
