Folk Britain : A field guide to curious customs by Tom Howells

Britain has always been a little stranger than its reputation for queuing politely and talking about the weather might suggest.

From solstice celebrations and blazing effigies to worm charming and bog snorkelling, Folk Britain: A Guide for Modern Times explores the wonderfully eccentric customs that continue to bring people together across the country.

Written by Tom Howells, this beautifully compact hardback celebrates over 100 living folk practices, following the changing seasons and the traditions that have endured alongside them.

Part cultural guide, part invitation to reconnect with the world around us, Folk Britain is a fascinating companion for anyone drawn to folklore, the natural world and the rituals that give places their character.
