A Treasury of British Folklore: Maypoles, Mandrakes & Mistletoe by Dee Dee Chainey
3.0
This was an interesting read but I'm a bit conflicted. On one hand I enjoyed the sheer amount of 'facts' included. They were snappy snippets of folklore linked by a common theme so it wasn't too long winded.
At the same time, it felt a bit suffocating. I was suffocating in folklore facts. I went from one statement to another about slightly different folklore and regions or religions etc. No let up. Maybe because I'm not used to reading these sorts of non-fiction books anymore.
