  • Resumen

  • England has a long and rich history of folklore which includes enchanting tales of strange events, otherworldly creatures, people with supernatural powers and unknown forces. These tales increased over the centuries, creating a unique compendium of oddities. Many of the themes of English folklore, such as fate, are founded on the desire to explain unusual phenomena based on reality. For example, the "Will-o'-the-wisp", a legendary ghostly light that attracts night travelers, is probably an attempt to explain the phenomenon of will-o'-the-wisps.

    One of the most fascinating tales is certainly the one about the green children of Woolpit. The earliest texts concerning the legend are by William from Newburgh and Ralph from Coggeshall, and date back to the late 12th century.
    Many historians consider history to be the result of English popular imagination, but others articulate a more complex explanation.
    Let's find out together.
