This version has a happier outcome for the Devil:At a short distance from the village are the disconnected stones known as the Devil's Quoits [..]; the name arises from the popular tradition that the Devil played here with a beggar for his soul, and won by the throwing of these huge stones.p89 in 'A Handbook for Travellers in Berks, Bucks and Oxfordshire', published by John Murray (1860). |
