Sybil Marshall’s The Book of English Folktales gathers forgotten village stories, fairy tales, and legends into one handsome 2016 hardcover. Illustrated throughout by John Lawrence, this Duckworth Overlook edition brings rustic giants, boggarts, and clever maids vividly to life for young-adult and adult readers alike.
The 384-page anthology spans every English county, blending folklore scholarship with the thrill of fantasy and the uncanny. Decorative engravings open each chapter, making it as much an art object as a treasury of myth and mysticism.
