David & Charles, Newton Abbot, Devon, 1975. Reprint. Hardcover (Original Cloth). Very Good Condition/Very Good. 'The Good Old Days' in country areas were ruled by local customs and folklore. This delightful book describes much of England's more important country lore, using contemporary accounts and adding historical material to show the richness of what inevitably lies behind us - often within living memory but not again to be experienced first hand.
