- This is the legend of Alderley Edge which is very familiar to people who live in the area, so i am telling it for those of you who have never heard it. This story was part of the inspiration for some of the Alan Garner books, The Weirdstone of Brisingamen, The Moon of Gomrath and Boneland. These are favourites of mine since childhood and i urge readers of all ages to give them a go. Thanks for watching and subscribing.
Thank you so much Richard I thoroughly enjoyed that story as a child I used to love having a story read to me .
I could listen to you for hours on end Richard. Your voice is full of warmth and charm. I loved that story and I'll definitely look it up. Thank you 💟
You are super kind Anna 😀I really appreciate the feedback. It's a lovely story and I grew up with it as I lived in that area. Thanks so much for watching 😀
DId the farmer really say *Wotevaa* :-)
Probably not 🤣🤣🤣
No, stop being pedantic. It was Wotevaa, Wotevaa.
Had never heard of this legend , till I bought some bottles of Wizard beer.
The label referred to the legend but gave no hint of the tale.
Thank you for sharing this with us.
You're very welcome. Thanks for watching!
Lovely to hear!
This would hold an audience spellbound! You wouldn't hear a pin drop and your ability to convey a mystical tale like this is captivating. I wish my old English teacher was as good as you are at holding people's attention. I just remember fragments of poems and stories such as Robert Browning and things like Porphyria about a man who strangled his lover because she was too perfect. I didn't get it at age 15 but at least I can understand that a good tale transcends generations. Enjoyed it!
I'm so pleased you enjoyed it and thanks for the lovely feedback. I grew up with this tale so it's very familiar to me. I also spent many hours as a child trying to find the iron gates. I was convinced I would meet the wizard one day. I had a very active imagination.😀
It shows, Richard, and the fact that people across the globe have been very complimentary about your skills as a storyteller is proof that you are engaging a wide audience with your work!
Hi Richard 🙋🏼wondered where you had vanished to? 😉 you could read to me all night long (not that one again specifically) ☺️although it was good but your voice is soothing and would have me asleep (in a good way) in minutes 😴😴. Hugs x
Maybe i should become a hypnotist!! LOL
Oh Richard, that was fab - you narrate so beautifully. Why don't you do more............💚
You're very kind. Good question...a few reasons. Firstly, time constraints...we both have jobs, a house and two gardens to maintain. There was a time when we were making a lot more videos than we do now per week and it was frankly exhausting.
@@RichardandPaul I understand. Yes, it would be too much - however, just wanted to ask the question. Lovin the Sunday Chats too - make me smile. Thank you. Sending spiritual love to you both.
Absolutely love it
Thanks so much 😀. R.

and thats the rosy cross
Thankyou. My family are originally from Wilmslow. My mum went to Cheadle Grammar School and lived at Lacey Green. I grew up in Macclesfield and used to visit the Edge very regularly as a child. I now live in London and have done for over 30 years.
Nice listening
oh and first name is philip which means lover of horses
its almost like the King Arthur legend, wizard and knights ready to come in Englands hour of need.
It absolutely is.
You should read children's stories for a living. Kids these days would appreciate a bit of modern speech in there! Brilliant !
Or how about bed time stories for adults, about history of England/,UK? ( not naughty stories that would keep us all awake! Lol)
Many thanks. To do that kind of work one has to have an agent and go through the rigmarole of auditions, and irregular work...one has to have access to a soundproof studio, deal with copyright issues, etc etc....not to mention the huge competition from a multitude of already established artists. it's not something that I am prepared to take on at the moment.
lol name is davenport.
