Description:
From the KING & TINKER, named after a traditional tale in which a disguised monarch surprises a local craftsman, to the EAGLE & CHILD, commemorating 'the Lathom legend', many British pub names and signs are steeped in local traditions and ancient beliefs. In GREEN MEN & WHITE SWANS, Jacqueline Simpson, one of the UK's leading folklorists, explores the fascinating stories behind the names, showing where they originated and tracing how they evolved over the years.
