Summary: "Devonshire Characters and Strange Events" by S. Baring-Gould is a collection of regional anecdotes and peculiar tales written in the early 20th century. The book explores various curious characters and strange occurrences from Devonshire, largely focusing on lesser-known individuals rather than historical figures.

At the start of the volume, the author outlines his intent to highlight intriguing characters from Devonshire, choosing to sidestep more prominent historical figures.
