Lincolnshire is an ancient county, it's perception as a quiet rural location belied by the fact that the area has seen centuries of tumultuous history. Settlements and ruins from bygone eras scatter the landscape, and these locations - often isolated and surrounded by lonely lanes and the open countryside Lincolnshire is famous for - hide many legends and mysterious secrets from bygone times right up until the present day.

Lincolnshire is a big county, ranging from the unsuspected heights of the rolling Lincolnshire Wolds, across the prairie-like expanses of some of Britain's most fertile soils to a coastline which includes bracing Skegness and the ports of the mighty Humber. But outside the boundary it is scarcely known, which is a surprising fact in this overcrowded island. "Moods of Lincolnshire" is a superb evocation of this unknown but beautiful and varied county through over 140 wonderful colour photographs. Janet and Peter Roworth know the county intimately, having lived there for many years and working for various conservation organisations. Their look at the county reveals many surprising and unsuspected gems, from the glories of the cathedral-capped city of Lincoln, to the superb architecture of country towns like Grantham, and Stamford, and the rolling rural acres of the hinterland.

For the "Ghost Tour of Great Britain" series celebrity ghost-hunter Richard Felix visited hundreds of locations across the country, accompanied by researchers and a film crew, to uncover the ghostly mysteries of stately homes, castles, pubs, churches and graveyards, along with many other sites. In this new series of books, to accompany the best-selling "Ghost Tour of Great Britain DVDs", the full story of what happened to the team in each county they visited is revealed alongside the details of their supernatural encounters. Each book in the series will have a full introduction to the Ghost Tour, as well as a glossary of ghost-hunting terminology and explanations of Richard's methods of tracking down elusive spirits.

The books are sure ...
