Description: A collection of tales and legends from the Isle of Wight authored by the pseudonymous Abraham Elder.

Many of the tales appear to be variants of popular tales, re-located to the Isle of Wight (for example, the tale of the Pied Piper of Newtown).

A second edition, containing several additional tales, many of which were published in Bentley's Miscellany, appeared in 1842.
