Illustrated Tales of Norfolk

By John Ling

The beautiful county of Norfolk is one of the most visited of English counties and also one of the oldest. But beneath its rural idyll lies a Norfolk that is surprising and often stranger than fiction. Local author and historian John Ling brings us some of the county's strange and mythical tales, from the ancient legend of the giant supernatural dog known locally as Black Shuck, which provided inspiration for "The Hound of the Baskervilles," to the strange case of the vicar who, after being defrocked, was killed in a lion's cage while delivering a sermon. Norfolk has a wealth of fascinating and often disturbing stories, many of which are featured in this hugely entertaining book.
