The Customs & Ceremonies Of Britain
An Encyclpaedia Of Living Traditions
An Encyclpaedia Of Living Traditions
AUTHOR: Charles Kightly
PUBLISHED: CThames & HudsonLondon. 1986
FORMAT: Pb, 248pp, illustrated, biblio, gazetteer
CONDITION: Used...ex-library book, so expect library stamps / marks / stickers. A bit of wear around the edges, but basically in good, sound & clean condition.
The Western city dweller is perhaps the least customary human creature that ever existed. But even he eats pancakes on Shrove Tuesday, eggs [if only chocolate ones] at Easter, and specially luxurious meals at Christmas.
Customs and festivals, however, do not merely provide a welcome variation on the daily round: they are also comfortingly fixed points and necessery anchors in a changing world. As such, the great majority have their roots in a rural and agricultural past, dominated by the rhythms of seedtime, harvest and stockrearing, and thus by the unpredictable vagaries of the seasons and elements.
