On that note (and I can't believe I forgot to mention it before), I highly
recommend a book called "The Lore of the Land", which covers English
folktales and superstions, county by county.  It also has two-page spreads
littered throughout, on common themes in the folklore of England.

Amazon has it here --

although you might be able to find it in good bookstores as well.
(FYI,
anyone in Sydney, Australia: I found mine at Abbey's Bookshop, on York St in
the city.)
