Publisher's Synopsis

Lays And Legends Of Gloucestershire is a book written by Adin Williams and originally published in 1878. The book is a collection of poems and stories that are set in the historic county of Gloucestershire in England. The tales are based on local legends, folklore, and historical events that have shaped the region over the centuries. The book is divided into several sections, each of which focuses on a different aspect of Gloucestershire's history and culture. Some of the topics covered in the book include the county's Roman past, its connection to King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, and its role in the English Civil War. The poems and stories in the book are written in a lyrical and descriptive style, evoking the landscape and atmosphere of Gloucestershire. The characters in the tales are often larger-than-life figures, such as the legendary giant who terrorized the county or the brave knight who defended it from invaders. Overall, Lays And Legends Of Gloucestershire is a fascinating glimpse into the rich history and folklore of one of England's most beautiful and historic counties.
