The shire probably originated as a county of the Kingdom of Northumbria, but was much fought over, and by the time of the Domesday Book it was considered a hundred of Cheshire. The seperateness of the district was reinforced when it became a royal bailiwick in 1122. In 1182, it became part of the newly-created county of Lancashire. Over time, the term fell out of use, but it remained a hundred until the abandonment of that system in the early nineteenth century.

Blackburn realizes that tales are told by all age groups, although more commonly by people over 30; almost equally by men and women, with a slight majority of women; within all social groups and castes, though more commonly in villages and towns than in cities.
Blackburn's methodically organized collection of tales serves as a valuable document of a culture and lifestyle, and should be a highly recommended reading for everyone interested in Indian narrative art.
