Cath Edwards 
Warwickshire Folk Tales 

Old Warwickshire, the ancient heart of England, encompassed many iconic historic sites. Coventry, Rugby, Warwick, Stratford-upon-Avon and Birmingham, among others, all had tales to tell. Equally fascinating are the stories of the people, the virtuous and the villainous, who lived in the greenwoods and rolling hills of this celebrated county.
Here are the folk tales passed from teller to listener over centuries, and the legends of the region’s famous sons and daughters. From Lady Godiva and Dick Turpin, to the murderous Foxcote Feud and Coventry’s claim to Saint George, storyteller Cath Edwards retells these tales and more with verve, vitality and vivid original illustrations.

Cath is an experienced storyteller and workshop leader. She learnt a love of folklore and stories as a small child and as an adult she told stories to her own children; as a teacher, she worked with children through story and for many years she has enjoyed telling stories to adult audiences. Her repertoire is largely based on tradition and folk tales, and she revels in sourcing stories, making them her own and passing them on so that her audiences can love them as much as she does. She is co-host of a storytelling club in Lichfield for adults, but she also loves to bring the experience of being involved in story to the very young, to primary aged children and those with special needs.
