Book Overview

Dartmoor Idylls is a collection of short stories and essays written by the English author and folklorist Sabine Baring-Gould, first published in 1896. The book is a celebration of the rugged and wild Dartmoor region in Devon, England, where Baring-Gould spent much of his life. The stories and essays capture the beauty and mystique of the moors, as well as the unique character of the people who live there.
