LOST FOLK (HB)

By its nature, folk is ephemeral: tricky to define, hard to preserve and even more difficult to resurrect. But folk culture is all around us; sitting in our churches, swinging from our pubs and dancing through our streets, patiently waiting to be discovered, appreciated, saved and cherished. As well as looking at what folk customs have meant in Britain's past, this book shines a light on what they can and should mean as we move into the future - encouraging us to use the book as an inspiration and become collectors and creators of our very own folk traditions.
