Christina Hole here records the most widespread and popular legends of the English national folk-heroes and relates them to the true facts to the life of each hero, as far as they are now.

This copy is from the library of folklorist Francesca Claremont, and has her signature to the ffep.

The book is in good but worn condition, perfectly readable with some light foxing to the page edges. The dustwrapper is rather tatty with small areas of loss to the edges and taped repairs. However, it has not been price-clipped and is now within a protective sleeve.
