Overview

 

Step into the spellbinding world of British folklore with this beautifully crafted book that journeys through the seasons, exploring the customs, rituals and forgotten stories rooted in our landscape. Written by a leading folklore expert and supported by the National Trust, A Year of British Folklore captures the rich tapestry of traditions that have shaped communities for centuries.

From the mischief of April Fool’s Day to the ancient midsummer maypole, and from cheese-rolling to worm-charming, this book brings to life both the familiar and the delightfully obscure. Alongside each tale, discover where many of these rituals are still celebrated today – a perfect companion for curious minds and seasonal wanderers alike.

Adorned with specially commissioned linocut illustrations, and sprinkled with authentic spells and charms, this book invites readers to connect more deeply with the rhythms of the natural year.
