There are lonely farms in Farndale, and parts of the dale are so little frequented that you can readily appreciate the many strange legends and folklore of the district. Here the elfmen hold sway and the district is alive with hobgoblins, witches, bewitched cattle, and goblin-haunted mounds.

From fairies the old lady got on to recollections of what clearly was a survival of dwarf folklore. For she told me of certain small people who used to dwell in the houes (grave-mounds) that years ago were to be found in the Roxby and Mickleby direction.

We all have a dwarf inside us. It is as if there is something of an essence of a concentrated form of each of us that is screaming to get out and that is a perfectly formed representation of who we are.
