About this listen
A tale of swans, local myths, and mayhem.
A year in the life of the not always sleepy Somerset village of Blackney Foloren.
Separated from the outside world by the infamous Somerset Levels, Blackney is a place which the modern world has overlooked for centuries, where the inhabitants conduct themselves to their entire satisfaction but not a great deal usually happens. However, they are about to have their feathers seriously ruffled, as this tale takes flight with several rather peculiar goings on. As with any small village, there is a pub, a shop, a church, a coven of witches and a few seriously bizarre village traditions. A group of colourful characters have lived there all their lives. Before the year’s end Blackney will see romances blossom, pagan rituals enacted, families reunited and an influx of rock fans.
This is a breezy read, full of comical yet credible characters, where the animals misbehave almost as often as the humans. Prepare to be surprised by this delightful, laugh out loud and entertaining series of four stories that span a year in the early nineteen eighties.
The book was co-written by a group of Somerset villagers and has a beautiful cover illustration by local artist Su Seeley. Stories to savour if you can resist racing to conclusions but be warned, you might have to look twice next time you see a swan……….
