I won’t say too much about it as it is a short story and I don’t want to spoil any of it but if you have a love of spooky stories or have a fascination for historical stories I thoroughly recommend picking this one up – it would also make a great stocking filler if you are starting to think that far ahead! I was thoroughly gripped by it and read the whole book in one sitting. The Tale itself is fairly short so don’t go in to this expecting an epic tale, it is however well crafted and told. Its adorable but also captures the nature of the story. The book itself is gorgeous too, it’s a tiny hardback that is adorable and the cover is a beautiful embossed naked hardback. It made it feel much more real, and helped with evoking the correct atmosphere. I really enjoyed both parts of it, the background information helped breath even more life into the Tale to give us the way to view it through our modern eyes. This is book of two halves – the Tale itself and the fascinating background to it and the research that has bought it back to life again.
