I think every writer can align themselves with this. If only billionaires today would build libraries, like Carnegie, rather than sending themselves into space.
The paperback of The Three Graces is out this week! Thank you to all who bought the hardback, thanks to all who will buy its cheaper version, thanks to all who borrow it from a public library, ebook or audiobook. Without my readers, I could not keep going with the next one….
If you missed me talking about St Edmund on @BBCR4Sunday this morning you can listen again here - I’m talking to @williamcrawley about 24 minutes in bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…
Well, yes, but now I want to know about the ghostly powder-puff and box.
This was one of the first accounts of a Lincolnshire Boggart (sic boggard) that I ever came across. And it's still for me, so powerful. It might be easy to laugh at the dialect, but there's a sense of genuine terror in their words. So scared they were pushing at a 'pull' door.
Tune in to @BBCR4Sunday tomorrow morning, where I expect to be talking about St Edmund at some time between 7 and 8am
@FindingFolklore It's from @FolkloreSociety County Folk-Lore Vol V, 'Examples of printed Folk-Lore concerning Lincolnshire.' Published 1908.

British witch trials. Reminder. Cunning-folk/healers/midwives made up only a small proportion of accused witches, let alone those hanged. This is a FACT based on intensive historical research by historians. There are multiple reasons why in published work.
i always remember my lecturer at uni.- @FolkloreSociety ‘ s Caroline Oates, telling us that as many mayor’s wives as midwives were killed in European witch hunts.

Have a copy and yes, its proved invaluable for some of my Dragon-slaying stories though the Man Who Loved Dragons may disagree ......
