Book Synopsis
  • What historical tragedy could possibly make a young Wallingford girl daub a wall with her own tears?

  • What really happened to the family who encountered a UFO in Stanford-in-the-Vale?

  • What made a Highworth Squire’s ghost choose to be banished to a barrel of cider?

  • And what does the Uffington White Horse get up to once every hundred years?

The Vale of the White Horse and the beautiful countryside of South Oxfordshire is a landscape steeped in thousands of years of legends, history and mystery. Here are witches, monsters and ghosts; old legends and modern-day tales of strange encounters with the unknown. From the mildly curious to the frighteningly inexplicable, The Veiled Vale is a treasure trove of fabulous folklore and modern mysteries.
Illustrations by Peter Hay.
