Magic, Myth and Memory

Magic, Myth and Memory takes the reader on a mystical tour of Staffordshire, Cheshire and Derbyshire. A true gem of a micro-history.

The book looks into the history and folklore of the land, winding its way through lived stories, stunning rare photographs, local rituals and hand drawn maps of locations off the beaten path.

While some of the theories and historical information may now be out of date, this book records living memory, folklore not found elsewhere. If you are researching or visiting the area, it’s an excellent book to bring with you and read!

Why we love it

We brought this book on our own pilgrimage to the Peaks, and it was wonderful to bring along. To walk the same roads as the author and experience it in real time. The stories are deep and textured and the hand drawn maps still hold up well when paired with google maps.
