|  | | Blackmore's Treasure
Action in the English Civil War leading to a treasure hunt in modern times.
The legend of Blackmore’s Treasure is part of the history of Prospect Farm. Tobias Allinson acquired the farm in 1645 and each generation since then has attempted to find the fabled treasure. None have succeeded…
His descendant, a thirteen year old boy, suffers a serious accident whilst visiting the farm. During his time in hospital, he ‘dreams’ about events experienced by the original Tobias. In his ‘dream’ he takes part in the Battle of Naseby, meets Oliver Cromwell, Prince Rupert and other famous people he had read about in his history books…

A collection of myths and legends from around the British Isles
This book contains twelve folk stories gathered from around the British Isles. I have tried to retell them in the same way the storytellers of old would have told them when they first created them.
Then they travelled from village to village and town to town holding their audiences spellbound with tales of magic and mystery; Good versus Evil, Giants and Monsters, witches and magicians, and of course some humour too.They used basic straightforward simple English that everyone can easily understand, no matter how skilled in the use of the English language. I have followed their example.
