Tales of a Gravedigger
Ian Shipley; Published by Stamford House PublishingSigned by the author.
This first book by Ian Shipley is a fascinating collection of tales recalled from over 20 years hand-digging graves. He has, to date, dug over 2,700 (in over 50 cemeteries across Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire).
It is a light-hearted and occasionally amusing look into the life of a gravedigger. From coffins getting stuck, exhumations and practical jokes to various other ghostly goings-on.
