Lakeland Folk Tales for Children by Taffy Thomas, £9.99
Is there really a magic orchard in the Lyth Valley? Can you really see the icy scales of the Dragon of Winter near Scafell? Will the reclusive Grasmere hunchback be saved by his animal friends?
Collected together in this new book are many of the favourite tales that Taffy as told over the years and that children love to hear time and again. They include tales of a gang of smugglers, an ugly face-pulling competition, the Ghost of Grasmere Gables and fabled fairy folk hidden in the forest near Egremont.
Not only will children love to listen to them, or read them themselves, the tales will also help them to engage with their own surroundings in a magical way.
