Who were the moonrakers? How could a Saxon church become lost for over a thousand years? Was it really possible for the Salisbury coach to be attacked by a lion in 1816? Cecilia Millson here restores these and a host of other stories to their original vigour and colour, offering a blend of humour, romance, excitement and wickedness that no Wiltshire reader can fail to enjoy.* This is a FINE text reprint copy with no major faults AS NEW.* 0
