Download or read book Somerset Folk Tales written by Sharon Jacksties and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2011-11-30 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These Somerset tales, newly collected or retold with a strong sense of the land and the waters that shaped them, reflect our enduring interest in the natural landscape. Let these stories from the Summer Lands take you on a journey: across wind-wild moors that plummet to treacherous tides traversed by sea morgans; on a scramble from gorges shaped by the Devil's spite to caves dwelled in by bitter witches. Discover ancient mines and dragons' haunts, and emerge into forests and fields to be befriended by bees or bedevilled by fairies; then stroll beside ancient waterways, where willows walk and orchards talk. From Gwyn ap Neath to Joseph of Arimathea, your travelling companions will meet you from legend, history and living memory – from the places where they were once known best. Sharon Jacksties has a sharp eye for the landscape of Somerset and the seen and unseen stories that it holds, a sympathetic ear for the dialect of the South West, and a playful wit that brings this collection of tales to vivid and delightful life.

With this town is connected the history of Nancy Camel, who lived in some period of history either never ascertained or so remote that time has effaced all traces from mortal memory. Tradition, however, relates, for the benefit of posterity, that when the manufacture of stockings formed a portion of the daily work of its inhabitants, and when old and young worked their fingers to the bone to obtain money, there lived an old lady of the above name in the neighbouring woods, and was of course accounted a witch, or wise woman. Regarded as an object of ridicule, if not of dread, stiunned by her own sex, and without kit or kin; in her seclusion and retirement she laboured at her stockings unceasingly--Sundays not excepted--and here she mourned over the bitterness of her wretched life. In the midst of her solitude, she, too, is visited by the evil one. What transactions passed between them, history relates not--the result of the interview never transpired; perhaps she broke, like many of her companions in sorcery, the compact duly signed and sealed to deliver over her soul to her lord and master for favours conferred. However, one evening after a most sultry day, the dark clouds gathered, and terminated the day with gloom; thunder silled the sky, accompanied, too, by the flash of vivid lightning. As night drew on, so the fury of the elements increased. In the midst of the storm was heard a loud and piercing shriek, that faintly echoed till the morning broke; there, too, was heard, the cracking of a whip and the creaking of wheels. Morn came at last, calm and glorious after the storm; some persons, half suspecting the cause of the shrieks they had heard, and half out of curiosity to see how Nancy had fared, visited the...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Myths, Scenes Worthies of Somerset The author has somewhat departed from her original intention of making a collection of the myths and legends of Somerset. Unwittingly, fiction glided into fact, and the story developed into history, and it was found difficult, if not impossible, to define their respective limits. For instance, though Arthur is an impalpable and shadowy personage, while Alfred is a most real and substantial one, yet the mingling of truth and fable in the story of each - as connected with Somerset - is only one of degree; and even in later times, myth is so entertwined with the lives of St. Dunstan, of Sir John de Courcy, of Roger Bacon, &c., that, if one tries rudely to tear away the accretions of myth and fable, a maimed and distorted picture is all that is left. Among the legends of Saints are some of rare beauty, full of earnest thought and quaint suggestiveness. It has been endeavoured to show that, instead of being - as they are generally and conveniently classed, with a charming simplicity as - the "lying inventions of the monks," they are in most cases but the loving exaggerations of a simple age, to which every unexplained wonder was a miracle.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When you are in Somerset you are never far from mysterious caverns, whispering woods, hidden valleys and places which can't decide whether they are seascapes or landscapes. The ancient Kings Arthur and Alfred hid amongst Somerset's secret waterways, waging the wars and making treaties that forged Britain's history. Outlaws and highwaymen lived on the wildest of moors that plummet into the sea. Ordinary people farmed the land and fished the waters alongside the Little People, the Fair Folk, the fairies and goblins that were as tricksy and unchancy to meet as any smuggler... In this collection, professional storyteller Sharon Jacksties has selected and reworked tales for children aged 7–11 to discover.
