Hoxton Mini Press | Folk Britain

A charming celebration of Britain’s rich and often eccentric folk traditions, Folk Britain: A Guide for Modern Times by Tom Howells explores more than 100 customs and seasonal gatherings from across the country. From midsummer celebrations and blazing effigies to worm charming and bog snorkelling, it journeys through the curious rituals, festivities and traditions that have long brought communities together.

A little guide to the wonderfully unusual, it offers a fresh appreciation of our connection to the seasons, the natural world and the customs that make Britain quite unlike anywhere else. A lovely book for those interested in folklore, local traditions and the enduring pleasures of gathering together.
