Explore ancient customs and traditions of Britain as T. F. Thiselton-Dyer presents a month-by-month study of the folklore, festivals, and forgotten observances that once marked the rhythm of the year.

From May Day revels to Yuletide celebrations, ancient rites to village fêtes, A Year of British Folklore traces the magical rituals that have shaped life in England, Scotland, and Wales through the ages. This book captures the ceremony and seasonal lore of old with the scholarly charm of Thiselton-Dyer as a guide. Each custom is presented with a keen eye for detail and a deep affection for the eccentricities of everyday life.

First published in 1876 as British Popular Customs, this volume remains an invaluable window into the beliefs and behaviours of generations past.
