From civil wars to cod wars, Lincolnshire is no stranger to historical upheaval. The stories in this book follow the pre-Roman, Roman, Anglo-Saxon, Danish, Norman and Dutch people who carved a manageable landscape from a wild county of wetlands and wolds.The Little Book of Lincolnshire recounts the events that made Lincolnshire the jewel in England’s agricultural crown, relating how a colourful procession of pirates, monarchs, artists, engineers and hucksters brought wealth and despair in equal measure. The story begins with Neolithic burial mounds and ends with the Humber Bridge, even tackling the vexed question of why Lincolnshire people are called Yellowbellies along the way.

V roku 1802 našli archeológovia v rímskych katakombách neznámy hrob s pozostatkami asi trinásťročného dievčaťa. Na troch tehlách uzatvárajúcich hrob boli vyryté symboly, ktoré spolu so zvyškami hlinenej ampulky so stopami krvi svedčili o jeho násilnej smrti. Časom bola neznáma mučeníčka identifikovaná a dnes ju mnoho ľudí pozná ako svätú Filoménu aj na základe mimoriadnych znamení a úcta a obdiv k nej stále rastie. Knihu Svätá Filoména - divotvorkyňa napísal dominikánsky kňaz Paul O´Sullivan ešte začiatkom 20. storočia. Možno v nej preto badať výrazné znaky ľudovej zbožnosti a uctievania svätých vtedajších čias. Svätú Filoménu si veľmi ctili viacerí pápeži, osobitne Gregor XVI., ktorý v roku 1835 ustanovil 10. august ako deň liturgickej spomienky na túto sväticu. A svätý Ján Mária Vianney jej príhovoru pripisoval všetky zázraky a obrátenia, ktoré sa udiali v čase jeho pôsobenia v Arse. Aj slovenskí čitatelia majú možnosť spoznať svätú Filoménu - divotvorkyňu a načerpať z prameňa jej nadprirodzenej pomoci.
