About this audiobook
A collection of evocative stories captures the unique spirit and haunting folklore of the West Country’s rural communities. From the secrets of the hearth to the mysteries of the moor, these narratives celebrate the resilience and eccentricity of a vanishing way of life. Blackmore provides an intimate and soulful look at the people who call the wild places home.
