Book Synopsis Forgotten Yorkshire Folk and Fairy Tales by :
Download or read book Forgotten Yorkshire Folk and Fairy Tales written by and published by . This book was released on 2019-06-17 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collection of rarely heard fairy tales from across Yorkshire, plus some local folklore. It has around fifty tales of dragons, giants, hobs, fairies, witches and other folk, or fairy, tales based in Yorkshire. Most of these are unchanged, or with very minor changes, to the versions found in old (out of copyright) books, though I've tended to soften the dialect to make them easier to read. A few, however, have had slightly more significant changes as the older versions I found were a little brief, and I took a mixture of these and newer versions to retell the story. A couple I've told completely from scratch, building on tiny scraps of local legend, where I could not find a proper story associated with them. A such there are a range of vocies and types of stories to be found inside, plus a little extra folklore too.

Book Synopsis An Evacuee's Story a North Yorkshire Family in Wartime by : John T. Wright
Download or read book An Evacuee's Story a North Yorkshire Family in Wartime written by John T. Wright and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2007-09-12 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A poignantly written and graphically described story of the pleasure and pain endured as an evacuee during World War Two. Like so many of his young friends and relatives, John Wright was required to leave the love and care of his parents in Middlesbrough at a very young age to escape the attention of the Luftwaffe and to be evacuated into the hands of a crowded and unloving home in Haxby, a quaint village north of the great city of York. The book eloquently describes his voyage of childhood discovery in the beautiful countryside coupled with the cruel attentions of a foster mother whose motivation was not to lavish love and support to her unfortunate foster children, but to hurt and belittle them. It is a bittersweet story of innocent interludes and mean realities for an evacuee child set amidst the horrors and melancholy of that devastating conflict.
