Ghosts & Gravestones of Haworth

A wonderfully detailed book including a breakdown of Haworth graveyard and interesting stories about the local area. I felt like I was in the presence of an informative and interesting tour guide whilst reading this good book. Highly recommended!

Very disappointed with the quality of the print which I found too small and blurred

This was for my wife she really enjoyed the book with plenty of interesting facts & information a good buy

Very informative

Great book. Spooky.

A great book written by an old friend of mine, Phil, who was the best graveyard tour guide in Haworth. When he wrote this book, I had to have a copy and he signed it for me on his book launch at the Bronte parsonage.Full of interesting facts and stories in and around the village and Bronte country.

This book provides the history of various pubs, inns and other Haworth buildings as well as brief descriptions of any ghosts on the premises. However, the primary subject is the cemetery and some of its more interesting gravestones.For many, `Haworth' is synonymous with `Brontë.' Unfortunately, the author isn't a Brontë afficionado and omits some intriguing information about the family and the location that inspired the sisters' novels. I realize the book contains only 128 pages and the author explains he has "neither the inclination or the space" to delve further into the lives of the famous Brontës, however, he devotes eight pages to "The Graveyard Cookbook" and the recipes for such delectable morsels as Toads' Legs in Garlic and Poached Baby Rats in Damson Wife. While I'm sure this chapter was intended as comic relief, it is, in fact, ridiculous. The author should have used these eight pages to provide additional information about the Brontës, walking maps of Haworth, other local legends, or, let's face it--just about anything would have been preferable to recipes for bat soup and fried worms!Nevertheless, I generally liked the book although I would have liked it better had the author included a map of Haworth showing the locations of the various pubs and other buildings.
