Modern day Cambridgeshire is a county of diverse landscapes: from the elegance of the University city to the rural delights of the old county of Huntingdonshire, and the flatness of the Isle of Ely with its "wide" skies, each district has its own identity and its own stories. In this book you can explore the antics of the inhabitants of the past, including Hereward the Saxon hero; the Fenland giant Tom Hickathrift; the pious Bricstan of Chatteris; the raconteur and skater Chaffe Legge; and Mr. Leech, who was carried off by the Devil. You can also learn about the hidden history of the area, including how the secret Brotherhood of the Grey Goose Feather helped King Charles I, and what really happened to King John's treasure. These tales will be of interest to modern readers (and storytellers), both within Cambridgeshire and elsewhere.
