DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The broad acres of the white rose county have always held more than their fair share of folklore, myth and legend. In this book, Arnold Walker has dipped into a wealth of material and stories, and has set out to present the strangest and some of the most chilling. From forgotten 19th-century squires and their feuds, through drunken monks, gibbets and severed hands, to early balloonists and flying machines, he serves up a vast range of tales, including the Great Yorkshire Train Robbery of 1867.
