Cheshire Memories: New book looks at festive stories from the past in Cheshire
CHESHIRE stories of Christmas told around a blazing fire have been captured in A Cheshire Christmas compiled by author and editor Alan Brack.
The author of other North West based publications The Wirral and Liverpool, the Official Book of the City adds a new book to his name.
The anthology offers a collection of enthralling short stories written with warmth and character from writers from the Cheshire area.
Tales, poems, period photos and sketches bring the local festivities to life in this colourful evocation of Christmas in Cheshire.
It invites you to join the party on a frosty Christmas evening spent at Gawsworth Rectory, at the Mayor of Chester's banquet and takes you on a ride with the Cheshire Forest Hunt on Boxing Day.
A farmer struggles in the lead up to Christmas and the Duke of Westminster's gamekeeper has a race against the clock in a mission to deliver cards and gifts in time for Christmas.
The book gives a ghoulish haunting from a Christmas past at the eerie country house at Poulton Lancelyn in the Wirral as well as contributions from new and classical successful writers.
