Скачать или смотреть Flip-through of Folklore, Myths and Legends of Britain: 50th Anniversary of rare book.

This year marks the 50th anniversary of the iconic book ‘Folklore, Myths and Legends of Britain’ which was published by the Readers’ Digest Association in 1973. In this video, I provide a detailed review and flip-through of this much-celebrated treasure trove of British folklore. I take you through each section of the book, discussing legends such as ‘The Hexham Heads’ and the Pendle Witches. And I explore the rich contexts provided by the book on the world of Nature, ghosts, witches, old gods, giants, and mythical beasts. From the folklore of Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, Wiltshire, Glastonbury and Lancashire to legends of Scotland and Wales, this book delves into Britain’s Celtic mythology and further afield.

If you like folklore, myth and legends, you’ll love this book. And for those with a particular interest in British folklore, this book is an absolute must have.
