A
collection of tales and legends of the English and
Scottish Border, not many of which have ever been told,
save by word of mouth, by the winter fireside. With few
exceptions, the tales are founded on local tradition,
and always, where possible, verification of the legends
and of their details has been made. The subject of the
opening tale is one of the romantic mysteries of British
history, accurate in all its main facts, and known to
the historian, but with which the ordinary public is not
acquainted.
