Beschreibung

The stories in this haunting collection are as ancient and modern, powerful and fantastical, ambiguous and ambivalent as the ghosts they feature. Here you will find tales of headless horses riding moonbeams, an entrance to another world on Marrowbones Hill, drowned sailors and ghost ships, and a girl riding pillion on a motorbike driven by her dead boyfriend - all told in the distinct voice of noted storyteller Michael O'Leary who, for years, has wandered the highways and byways of Hampshire, immersed in the layers of ghost stories that have accumulated in this ancient county. Richly illustrated with original drawings, these tales are perfect for reading under the covers on dark, stormy nights.

Über den Autor

Michael O'Leary is a professional storyteller who has authored several folk tales books for The History Press. After leaving school he spent a life wandering, working in Ireland, Norway and Greece before settling in Hampshire. In his thirties, he studied Geography before becoming a primary school teacher, where he honed his storytelling skills. Michael has always been fascinated by the relationship between stories and place, and as a storyteller travelled extensively, telling stories everywhere from Crossmaglen in South Armagh to Prague to botanical gardens in New Zealand.
