    About this ebook

    With fairies and dragons, witches and werewolves, the picturesque island of Jersey boasts legends as varied and powerful as any within the British Isles. From its golden beaches to its treacherous cliffs, Jersey is alive with mysterious stories as strange and fascinating as the beings that inhabit them. This unique anthology includes the most famous of Jersey’s fables, such as the Hougue Bie Dragon, the Witches of Rocqueberg, and the demon of Bonne Nuit. It also contains original tales of ancient monsters such as the Vioge of Crack Ankle Lane, the Prince and Princess of Sorel Point and the Crooked Fairy. These spellbinding stories had almost been lost to the shadows of the past, but are brought to life here once more.
