Synopsis
Local Legends And Rambling Rhymes, By John DIX Local Legends And Rambling Rhymes is a whimsical collection of Bristol-based legends, rhymes, and lively illustrations from the nineteenth century. This book presents a blend of local folklore, satirical verse, and ballad-like narratives, gathering tales about Raven’s Well, Watts’s Folly, St. Vick’s cave, the Dun Cow, Maud Easterfield’s vow, and other legendary episodes from Bristol’s history. Framed by a prefatory dedication to a Bristol figure and an address to readers, the work combines mock-heroic verse with prose sketches and an index of illustrations, aiming to entertain while preserving local memory. The pieces range from romantic legends and humorous anecdotes to cautionary tales, often interwoven with social commentary on city life, civic figures, and the quirks of 18th- and 19th-century Bristol. This edition reproduces the original 19th-century material, including plates by A. Pen, offering a window into a founder-era tradition of regional storytelling.
