Yorkshire`s Strangest Tales

Welcome to the weird and wonderful world of Yorkshire, or as it is sometimes beautifully referred to, God`s Own County. Though this isn`t the usual side of the county the tourists, travellers and residents see. This is the real Yorkshire, the strange and twisted nooks and crannies of the county`s bizarre history – past, present and future. Following on from the bestselling Portico Strangest titles now comes a book devoted to one of England`s most beautiful valley regions. Located in the upper body of Britain`s old man, Yorkshire is a county with more strangeness than you can shake a Dale walking stick at. Home of Robin Hood (he was born in Barnsdale), Guy Fawkes, Dick Turpin and Dracula (Bram Stoker wrote part of the vampire tale in a Whitby hotel!) and, some say, the birthplace of modern civilization even began in Leeds! But you`ll have to read the book to find out why. Yorkshire`s Strangest Tales is a treasure trove of the hilarious, the odd and the baffling – an alternative travel guide to some of the county`s best-kept secrets. Read on, if you dare! You have been warned. Word count: 35,000
