Book of the Week

The Lost Folk

£20.00

A fresh and engaging celebration of the customs, places, objects and peoples that make up what we know as ‘folk’ in Britain. In The Lost Folk, Lally MacBeth is on a mission to breathe new life into these rapidly disappearing customs. She reminds us that folk is for everyone, and does not belong to an imagined, halcyon past, but is constantly being drawn from everyday lives and communities.
