Britain’s Folklore Year

It’s been a while since I’ve asked for anything from NetGalley as I was feeling a bit overwhelmed, but starting out again in a small way with this lovely book on folklore.

As it says on the cover this is a guide to some of the seasonal festivals throughout the year around Britain.

It takes us through Spring to Winter including Christian, modern Pagan, modern practices, and older festivities as we go from the birth of the year to its passing.

There are also lots of little asides throughout the text adding flavour to the period that your exploring.

From Lent in Durweston, Dorset through the year and festivities to The Blessing of the Throats in Holborn, this tour of Britain is fascinating and had me wanting to visit all of these and find out more about anything local.

There is a really good index at the back along with a digest of some festivals that you may be interested in visiting.

I received this from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
