Description
Book Synopsis
Drawn from Lia Leendertz's bestselling The Almanac comes a compilation of stories and songs that celebrate the activities and festivities of the seasons. Featuring mischievous boggarts, saints and sailors, leprechauns and dragons, pilgrimages and charms, add a little magic to your journey through each year. A Year in Story and Song is a captivating collection of stories and songs that celebrates the seasons. We humans love stories. We love to hear them and to tell them, around fires and by bedsides, and we love to use them to make sense of the world around us. The seasons, in all their ever-changing variety, give us many opportunities for storytelling: the full moons and their names, Epiphany in January, St Patrick's Day in March, May Day, Midsummer, Halloween and more. They feature mischievous boggarts and fairies, saints and sailors, leprechauns and dragons, pilgrimages and charms, milk maids and rose queens, Robin Hood and the green man. The songs range from shanties and love songs, to bawdy ballads and wassails, to carols and rounds, and have been sung for hundreds of years, often at particular moments in the calendar. A beautiful gift for old and young, as well as an indispensible month by month guide to songs and stories, this is a book to treasure all year, every year.About the Author
