These Somerset tales, newly collected or retold with a strong sense of the land & the waters that shaped them, reflect our enduring interest in the natural landscape. Let these stories from the Summer Lands take you on a journey: across wind-wild moors that plummet to treacherous tides traversed by sea morgans; on a scramble from gorges shaped by the Devil's spite to caves dwelled in by bitter witches. Discover ancient mines & dragons' haunts, & emerge into forests & fields to be befriended by bees or bedevilled by fairies; then stroll beside ancient waterways, where willows walk & orchards talk. From Gwyn ap Neath to Joseph of Arimathea, your travelling companions will meet you from legend, history & living memory
- from the places where they were once known best. Sharon Jacksties has a sharp eye for the landscape of Somerset & the seen & unseen stories that it holds, a sympathetic ear for the dialect of the South West, & a playful wit that brings this collection of tales to vivid & delightful life.

The landscape of Somerset has changed in many ways over the last century. From Glastonbury to the Quantax, Somerset Then & Now provides a fascinating snapshot of the county in days gone by. The older photographs in this book were taken by local photographer Henry Montague Cooper between 1904 & 1906. Cooper owned one of the county's first motorcars, & used it to tour extensively with his camera. His photographic record of Somerset surpasses that of every other local photographer. Comparing his Somerset to the modern county of today reveals many changes: the mechanisation of farming has resulted in the loss of hedgerows, & flail cutting in the loss of trees in hedges bordering roads. Somerset's traditional industries have now gone, & many ways of life with them. However, much still remains unaltered in the heart of this sleepy rural county, & this book celebrates the unchanging beauty of 'the land of summer'. ...

From the misty Levels to the heights of Exmoor & the Mendips, the Somerset landscape in enriched by buildings of outstanding quality & interest. This expertly revised & enlarged survey is a suitable architectural companion to one of England's most beautiful regions. ...
