The Book
Myths and legends of the South Folk
Suffolk has a rich history of myths and legends, with tales from the recent past adding to those of previous centuries. In a highly original twist on these fascinating tales, Paul Schwer has set them in the mid-7th century, the time of Sutton Hoo and the Kings of East Anglia.
Follow Brother Theodosius and his troubled young colleague, Brother Leofa, through the magical landscape of the South Folk, as they become involved in extraordinary and tumultuous events.
Paul Schwer is a keen amateur historian, a volunteer with the National Trust and a guide with the Sutton Hoo Society, leading visitors on historical tours around the Royal Burial Ground. He lives a few miles downstream from Sutton Hoo and can often be found running alongside the Deben and Orwell rivers with his dogs through the wonderful Suffolk countryside.
