Place legends and lore from the Calder Valley
By John Billingsley • paperback • 90pp
This collection of tales from the moorlands of the Upper Calder Valley reveals the wealth of tradition still current in Pennine communities.
Nine major stories are presented here, with commentaries on narrative variations and other relevant themes in local history and folklore. A further chapter explores more fragmentary legends and traditions of place.
The presentation of these stories locates the cultural tradition of the Calder Valley as part of the wider web of local history, and is the first part of a projected series on the folklore of Calderdale.
