A Guide to England's Literature : English Folklore

By: Adele, Charlotte

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online.

English folklore was developed over many centuries ago. Some of the characters and stories are present across England, but most belong to specific regions. Common folkloric beings include pixies, giants, elfs, bogeymen, trolls, goblins and dwarfs. Many English legends and folk customs are thought to be ancient, for instance the tales featuring Offa of Angeln and Weyland Smith, and Robin Hood and his Merry Men of Sherwood and their battles with the Sheriff of Nottingham being perhaps the best known.
