1.		The Folklore of Discworld from Doubleday Price: £10.79 Customer Review: While I was never a fan of the Science of Discworld series, I picked this one up since it seemed to approach things from an interesting new angle. I'm certainly not disappointed - there is a whole gamut of folklore covered within, showing the links and relationships between Discworld and the Earth.... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

2.		London Lore: The Legends and Traditions of the World's Most Vibrant City from Random House Books Price: £12.00 Customer Review: This is a fascinating book for anyone who loves London, and an eye-opener if you have ever wondered whether cities have any folklore apart from ghost stories. Steve Roud divides London into seven regions, and finds an amazing variety of tales and customs (past and present) to discuss in each one,... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

3.		Haud Yer Wheesht!: Your Scottish Granny's Favourite Sayings from Neil Wilson Publishing Price: £3.99 Customer Review: I just ordered this book -so I haven't yet read it. I do remember some of my Scott's grandma's sayings. When my friends & I were playing noisily inside she would eventually say" Haud your wheesht...my brain's like train oil" This was a reference to the oil in the wheels of the old steam trains... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

4.		The Hero with a Thousand Faces from Fontana Press Price: £6.49 Customer Review: Campbell was one of the most distinguished figures in the continuing study of mythology, a sadly neglected subject in recent times. Legend and myth aren't identical. Legend (or saga) at least hints at some historical truth (e.g. the Trojan War). Myth, often associated with legend, is far more... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

9.		The Mammoth Book of King Arthur from Robinson Publishing Price: £6.49 Customer Review: The other two reviewers have covered what the book is about and its strengths and flaws. I have to say though, that anyone starting their journey on the quest for the historical Arthur should read this first.

10.		The Element Encyclopedia of Magical Creatures: The Ultimate A-Z of Fantastic Beings from Myth and Magic from Harper Element Price: £13.00 Customer Review: This is a big solid book, absolutely packed with interesting facts about pretty much any creature you can think of, along with thematic topics such as animal "guides" etc. The only disappointment with this book is the total lack of illustrations. It's all text, and I think it would have... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information
