Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Memorials of Old Whitby: Or Historical Gleanings From Ancient Whitby Records
I remonstrated with a local writer of Local History, less than twenty years ago, because he had introduced in his parish sketch, as history, much that was altogether inaccurate, and much besides which was simply fabulous. His reply was to the effect that the public liked the fabulous and the non historic, especially if the story was as they had been accustomed to hear it.
