## About this item

Britain's Folklore Year is a UK folklore book for fans of history, customs and the old British calendar, in hardback. It moves through the year, season by season, covering the colourful events, customs and rituals of Britain's folklore.

Written by folklore expert Mark Norman, the hardback runs to 224 pages and measures 198 x 144 x 24 mm. Inside are spells and charms from British folklore and magic, with original linocut illustrations throughout. It explains the origins of April Fool's Day and maypole dancing, and introduces lesser-known customs such as Beating the Buns. The book is supported by the National Trust.

Worm-charming, nettle-eating and cheese-chasing sit alongside the seasonal festivals. The book also shows where to visit many of these rituals today. Pick up Britain's Folklore Year and plan which custom to see first.
