SHROPSHIRE'S SECRETS
Shropshire's Secrets is the latest in our 'Special Editions'. In it we trace a fascinating path through almost two-thousand years of history, from the Last Supper to the publication of the great Romances, which featured such legendary characters as King Arthur and Robin Hood. What is more fascinating is that we can connect, through historical records, Joseph of Arimathea, the Holy Grail, King Arthur and Robin Hood with the area which is now known as Shropshire!
Do you find that hard to believe? Well, let me give you just a taster of what Shropshire's Secrets contains:
Did you know that there was a King of this part of Britain who was knows as The Bear? His name was Owen Ddantagwyn and he held court in the ancient roman town of Virconium in Shropshire. The Welsh for The Bear is Arth! - Shout Arth a few times and you can understand where the name Arthur came from!
Did you know that the stories surrounding the legendary Robin Hood were based on the life story of Fulk Fitz Warine who was outlawed by King John and banished from his castle in Whittington, Shropshire?
Shropshire's Secrets is available by mail order, price £2.50 each for UK and Europe and £3.00 for overseas surface mail). For further information, please contact me at the address below, or send e-mail
