[Amos · Rating 3 out of 5]

An impressive compilation of English folklore and ghost tales which is very ably presented by the author. An interesting if somewhat repetitive read for the casual non-Cotswaldian peruser. This a feature of the legends, as Attwood himself admits, rather than a failing of the author.

[Bethnoir · Rating 3 out of 5]

I love reading historical local ghost and witch tales, but this book managed to suck much of the excitement out of them. Apart from the huge toad of Berkeley and Dolly the bewitched who couldn't help gossip, it wasn't as interesting as I'd hoped.

Since I like paranormal stories, this book was very intriguing. The stories were short but interesting and fun.
