Mythical Creatures - 3. Water Demons

Rhianna Pratchett explores the dark world of water demons, from Jenny Greenteeth in the North of England to kelpies – shapeshifting water horses – in Scotland.

She hears chilling details of their activities and their purpose but also learns what can be used for protection against these fearsome creatures.

The fantasy writer is taking us across an enchanted British Isles to discover mythical creatures that lurk in all corners of the land.

She's out to uncover what they can tell us about our history, our world and our lives today.
