Legend Land, Vol. 2 / Being a Collection of Some of the Old Tales Told in Those Western Parts of Britain Served by the Great Western Railway

The collection gathers traditional legends and folklore from Devon and Cornwall, retold in accessible prose and organized as short narratives and local sketches. Tales range from supernatural encounters—ghostly coaches, devils stealing churches, helpful demons and spectral hunters—to saintly miracles, pixies, lost lands, and moorland wonders, often tied to specific places and landmarks. Introductory notes and maps orient readers to local geographies, while forewords and brief commentaries link stories to landscape, custom, and popular belief. The volume aims to preserve regional storytelling, combining moral, superstitious, and picturesque elements that reflect the character of western English coastal and moorland communities.
