Notes

Two attractive wartime productions with the author's own illustrations. [James] Fenton Wyness was an architect by profession but wrote a series of local histories alongside these two volumes of folklore, containing tales of witchcraft, hauntings and smugglers. They were reprinted in a single volume in 1970.
