Description

Description from Project Gutenberg (opens in a new tab)

"Legendary Yorkshire" by Frederick Ross is a collection of folklore and legends written in the late 19th century. The book explores the rich tapestry of stories rooted in Yorkshire's history, featuring various mythical characters, historical figures, and local folklore, including tales of King Arthur and legendary monsters. The beginning of "Legendary Yorkshire" introduces the enchanting story of Peter Thompson, a humble potter who discovers an enchanted cave beneath Richmond Castle. Fleeing from the endless scolding of his termagant wife, Peter stumbles upon this hidden ravine, which leads him to the sleeping forms of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table, preserved in a spell-bound slumber. The narrative conveys Peter's awe and fear as he intrudes upon the cave and nearly awakens the slumbering knights, making for an engaging start that blends humor, romance, and myth, setting the tone for the fantastical legends that follow throughout the collection.
