Whilst not encyclopaedic, this is certainly fairly exhaustative. It covers all sorts of traditions and rituals in England, mani not but also Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. It has an interesting anecdotal entry and there are some details about when and how these beliefs began and where in the uk they originated. Fascinating for those that are interested but there's enough here to fascinate the general reader too. ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

The first major new book on British superstitions and their history in over a generation, this survey not only explains what people have believed and why, but when superstitions arose, which parts of the country adopted them, how they evolved and what people believe today. Drawing extensively on literary sources from medieval times to the present, the book settles many arguments, debunks many myths and provides in the process a fascinating sideways view of social customs and beliefs over the centuries.
