Book Description
This book describes the reaction of the common people to some of the tumultuous events which occurred in Northamptonshire and shaped England's history, and how this gave rise to many colourful folklore traditions. Especially rich in dialect, vocabulary, legends, and wondrous stories that have been handed down through the ages, the character of Northamptonshire and its people is firmly rooted in its folklore. There are tales of literary folk and noblemen, but always at the heart of Northamptonshire's folklore are the traditional beliefs, stories, events and customs of the common people. Daily life itself contained numerous beliefs and maxims, omens and superstitions - often based on fear of the uncertain - as well as being full of music and verse, dance and song. These delightful, revealing and sometimes fanciful traditions have remained hidden until now.

Book Description
With support from the Inland Waterways Association, Friends of the River Nene and others, and drawing on his longstanding connection with the river, Roger Green has thoroughly revised and updated this popular guide. A new design includes thorough navigation notes alongside more detailed maps of the canal and river, showing the main features of the navigation. Helpful tables indicate mileages and likely timings between locks to help with passage planning and also provide further information on all the moorings, facilities and services, many of which have been much improved in recent years. Other features of interest such as canoe launch access and portage points are also shown. Details of facilities, walking and cycling routes and local history add useful information. Photographs help to highlight points of interest along the way and confirm this guide to be the essential companion for anyone planning to navigate the river, whether by boat, canoe, bicycle or on foot.

Book Description
The Macmillan Way is a long distance footpath that was developed to raise public awareness of the charity "Macmillan Cancer Support". The journey starts at Boston in the wide-open flatlands of the fens. After two days of level walking the route travels through the undulating farmlands of Rutland, Leicestershire and Northamptonshire. The path keeps rising as I travel through the glory of the Cotswold Hills before finally crossing the Dorset Downs to the finishing point on the shore at Chesil Beach. During this expedition I will be investigating the places, people and histories that have influenced the locations I visit. From the genius of Isambard Kingdom Brunel to the rules of Dorset Knob Throwing this book will fascinate you from start to finish. All royalties are donated to MacMillan Cancer Support.
